Colonoscopy OK? You can take a fiber product daily but most clinicians would advise against a laxative habit. Drinking adequate fluids and some kind of daily exercise is helpful. If you have no urge for bowel movements you could try taking a gentle bowel stimulant daily like SenokotS according to instructions. If you have urge&can't have a BM, insert dulcolax rectal suppository or fleets enema.
