I have been taking probiotics and prebiotics (which is fibers that feed the good bacteria in your gut) several times a day. And, I take digestive enzymes to help my sluggish digestion. Some products put them all in one in capsule form.

I use magnesium oxide if I go one day without having a bowel movement. It usually works the next morning and if I don’t go that day I take one dose miralax. Then continue the magnesium oxide until I get started back. This has worked well for me the last year or so.

I try to eat fiber when I can and use Miralax if I need to. To answer the question about chia seeds, I add them to my oatmeal while cooking it and they plump right up. Otherwise, I soak them overnight in coconut milk.

Kiwis actually help with constipation as do prunes.

Good ol’ Prunes, 3 a day and after a couple days and going forward, it works.
