I always prefer eating a high fiber cereal or peanuts. Anytime I eat one or the other I can go smoothly. Find out what food helps u the most. It's best to not take laxatives if u don't have to. But, it may benefit u to take stool softeners once in a while. Check with your doctor first. U already suffer with enough pain, u don't need constipation added to the list. Take care

Last night I ate a bag of liquorice and this morning all was well! Feel so much better, thank you!
Have a good day 🌞😃
