hi-- i know your symptoms as i go thru waves with my bowels and BMs. i have it set up to follow a very specific dayplan to make sure my body is comfortable and if i skip it or get lazy, my bowels back up. and if i skip a BM, i get annoyed with it and eat whatever i want instead of following my plan. ill skip more BMs and eat more and i never understand how all the stuff i eat doesnt just eventually come out.
i used to be on fibercons and for 4 years that i took them, i found no relief so i changed to psyllium caps--a vegetarian cap actually. this with a TBSP of acacia seems to do it better for me. i have a Rx for miralax too but never take it b/c the whole laxative department is just bad news. even colon cleansers that reward themselves with a natural label are still harsh--if not right away, then in the long run. i had a terrible laxative abuse problem partially b/c i liked going [and who wouldnt?] but partially b/c my doctor kept telling me to increase the dose, as i periodically found myself at plateaus with my current amount. i recommend the psyllium very much but take it at night! it causes bloating a bit
im sorry to say though that im only 20 and havent had a baby yet but i babysit 2 very young ones and find it hard to eat as much as i used to. perhaps you are just really busy? did you gain alot of pregnancy weight? BTW, congradulations that must be wonderful--i hope you find some fast relief! i cant imagine your pain *HUG*
