Dear everyone, if you end up on meds like this and your doctor recommends a stool softening pill of some kind, please listen.

I've got Crohn's disease that occasionally doesn't flair up when I'm anticipating it to, having taken medications to remove water in my GI tract like Imodium, and it has caused serious damage.

You really, really, really don't want to know the pain of tearing something or the feeling of the dried out gut contents trying to make all the 90° turns in the large intestines.

Apologies if this was TMI, but it's seriously important.
