A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scheduled emptying: Most of those with slow transit constipation can be helped by two simple actions. Use a wetting agent like MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) (or generic) to keep things soft.Then get into a pattern of daily scheduled emptying.(twice daily at the beginning) you can think yourself through it until it becomes automatic.You may need the wetting agent for months, but over time your system should improve.
