A member asked:
How often can i take dulcolax? i constantly have chalky bm, so if i take it every other day, will it cause me any problems?

It would better to adjust your diet rather than relying on a laxative. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
