In your case I think your gastroenterologist who knows your history¤t status best, is the one to outline a constipation relief program specifically for you keeping in mind that you also have some diverticulosis of the colon.. However, in addition to drinking adequate fluids,eating soluble fiber& getting regular exercise, ask him/her whether taking a bowel stimulant like SenokotS daily is ok
