I called my PA and she said to take one fiber therapy pill and one generic emodium every morning. Walmart carries a brand "Equate" emoidum that works really well. the real emodium is VERY expensive. She said this is very good for your colon and will not hurt your digestive tract. she hesitated putting me on a perscription cuz she said they only help for awhile really not a long term solution. Thanks to everyone and I hope those who need it will try it.
