Collace Users...

Did your doc prescribe the amounts to take or did you just follow the directions on the bottle?

TIA

I used to chew 2 Fiber Choice pills daily and that help me be more regular (I was also taking iron pills so I was really constipated Chat Icon ). The pills come in fruit flavors and they were pretty good.

Re: Collace Users...

I take 3 a day! I normally have a problem with constipation (before pregnancy) and when I'm pregnant it's horrible! I can't take my prenatal vitamins because the IRON makes it 10x worse! So I take a Flintestones and make sure I get iron from my diet. With my 1st pregnancy it was really bad! So, I make sure I drink LOTS of water and I take my colace EVERY day.

Re: Collace Users...

Thanks Ladies... My doctor said my prenatal is making it 100 times worse for me... I ended up taking two collace pills today and am hoping it will work by sometime tonight! My back is killing me and I think its because I am soooo backed up and gassy (sorry if TMI) But thanks so much for the info...

Please keep the advice coming because I am totally clueless!

I take it 2-3 times a day. Water and fiber help too. I had no m/s, but this "issue" was a huge problem for me. I eat high fiber cereal everyday. Chat Icon Chat Icon It does get better, hang in there.

Re: Collace Users...

Colace is just a "softener". It won't make anything happen that isn't going to happen anyway -- it just makes it easier. Definately try those Fiber Choice pills. DH has also taken them and they helped. Or how about prunes?

Re: Collace Users...

Did you try Peri-Colace? It is a softer with a mild laxative. My friend also used to take Milk of Magnesia. Her Dr said it was ok to take. I would check with your Dr first though...
