Are you really 99yrs: Old? Age can help define potential causes. You should see a doctor & perhaps have a colposcopy and/or other tests to figure out what is wrong & a medicine that will help. I assume you drink at least 80-100oz of water daily, eat at least 6-8 servings of vegetables a day, 4-6 servings of fruit? And get at least 30g of fiber a day?

It works.: 99 yo and birth control? I think one of the two might be wrong. In general, object is one soft bm/day. Add one agent to another until you get results. Generally doss 100 mg once or twice a day and peg 3500 17 g each day along with sufficient water intake is a good start. Other agents such as prunes / senna/ bisacodyl / etc. May be added to this foundation.
