How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?

I have terrible constipation due to medications I take. I have been using MiraLax for the past year but can t find a dose that is consistent. My stools are either diarrhea or small solid hard to pass. I am also having lots of really stinky gas...smells like sewer gas.

You should know that constipation is a problem that could be treated not only using medication. I suggest to eat a lot fruit and vegetables, drink a lot of water and walk every day. As well you should use probiotic to regulate your intestinal flora.
