I'm on dylisas and have not had a bowl movement what can i take

Stool softeners: High fiber and stool softeners should be the first choice. If they are not enough, add dulcolax. If this is not enough, use MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) after talking to the nephrologist. This should be safe as it doesnot cause any electrolyte imbalance.
