Suggest A Remedy For Constipation

I had gastric bypass in early august. I am very constipated right now. The stool is like clay and its stuck right at the rectum. I have tried stool softeners, MiraLax, Milk of Magnesia, Enemas, & Supositories. Nothing has made me pass it. Is there anything else I could try?

You might want to try a bulk forming agent such as metamucil. Take 1 heaping tsp on 8 oz water once daily, around a meal( that is important)
That might change the quality of the stool and thereby help with your symptom.
