Try Simethacone: I recommend stop taking Senna plus which obviously isn't working well for you. It is safe to take plain Senna in much higher doses. Start with 4 tablets at bedtime for 1 week, you can increase your daily dose by 2 tablets every week until you find your best dose to have a soft bowel movements everyday (up to 16 tabs). Try Simethacone is you still need something for bloating.
