A member asked:

I have been struggling with regular bowel movements. i need help with a daily laxative supplement that i can use long term without many side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: It's important to eat fiber or take a daily fiber supplement, and drink adequate liquids. Regular exercise also can help. To stimulate your bowels, try taking a gentle stimulant like senokotS daily which also contains a stool softener. If no improvement, consult a gastroenterologist who has an interest in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Newer prescription medications are available.
