This topic is about dealing with constipation after having colostomy surgery. The person who started the discussion has been experiencing constipation three months post-surgery and found that using Miralax for three days did not help. They are looking for alternative solutions. Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Milk of Magnesia is mentioned as being very effective for occasional constipation after ostomy surgery.

2. Prescription options include Dulcolax, which was found to be too strong for one person, and DulcoEase, which worked well as a gentler alternative.

3. A fiber supplement like Metamucil is recommended for both occasional use and as a reliable long-term solution.

4. Increasing overall fluid intake is advised to help support regular bowel movements.

5. Kadeem 100% Grape Juice has been suggested in previous discussions as a way to ease blockages. One person with an ileostomy keeps it on hand, although they personally avoid drinking it.
