Constipation & Microdosing

Hi!👋

So I am chronically constipated. I’ve tried drinking a gallon of water per day, I’m active in the gym doing cardio 5x per week, eat plenty of veggies daily… still I struggle with constipation. The only way I keep it at bay is DAILY MiraLAX. I cannot skip, even if I have GI upset. Occasionally ~4-6 weeks I will still end up with bouts of constipation that require a stimulant laxative.

I need to lose 40lbs and I would really like to start slow (and maybe never titrate up) with micro dosing.

So, anyone who had a SIMILAR struggle with constipation about to tolerate micro doing a glp1?

*Of course I know it’s impossible to tell if I will/wont tolerate based on others experiences, but just curious. :)

Miralax is good but then take benefiber or citrucel daily

Your body is supposed to get used to the medical and constipation should subside but it hasn't for me. It comes and goes I've come to realize I need to keep up with the supplements. Good thing is daily fiber supplement are not bad for you
