?constipated: You may still be constipated. You may need another dulcolax and you should drink plenty of fluids/water. See Dr. if your issues continue to rule out other intestinal conditions...Best wishes to you.

Diet changes...: Try to eat a high fiber diet( lots of fruits and veggies) along with drinking plenty of water. Try to stay active as well so you may help your system clear up of any contained waste( stool). If symptoms are severe you would need to be seen ASAP.

Yes: Dulcolax can induce a bowel movement and soften the stools. Try to get more fiber in your diet -- whole grains, fresh fruits and veg, and drink plenty of water. Also try to get out and walk regularly. This should help your bowels move better. If you don't see results in a few days, see a doctor. Good luck!
