A member asked:

Very good afternoon doctors! i had some constipation, and very stupidly played "musical doctors," and went to two gastroenterologists. one told me to take senekot or dulcolax, and one told me to take colace. what is your recommendation/preference?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No other disease?: Each person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then things people try are vegetables, water, prune juice, prunes, fiber-with-water, Miralax, Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, etc... A doctor can evaluate and prescribe helpful meds too, such as Linzess or Amitiza.
