It's a gently laxative so no cramping and such like with dulcolax, etc. Might be worth a try. They have one that is s plain laxative and one that has added stool softener.

Bet none of you expected to be talking so much about poop! Hang in there because this too shall pass. Wait a few weeks and believe it or not, it will be about sex. I am thankful every single day for my Sisters and this group. Can't imagine going through this without everyone.

I had a DaVinci hysterectomy on Nov 11th. I tried take the colace, but it wasn't helping me at all. So friend told me about an organic herb tea called Smooth move. It has helped.I had had a few bowl movement since drinking the tea.

I'm taking Colace as prescribed and even drank coffee this morning and still not working. Should I be concerned or just wait? I'm used to not having a bowel movement everyday so I really haven't thought too much about it.

Progress!!!!! Awesome.
