constipation
"I have been constipated with small stools x 10 days. Decided to try a laxative after several days of hydrating well and increasing fiber intake (that should be your first strategy). 

Chose dulcolax because "bisacodyl" sounded more welcoming than the other active ingredients, and it only had ONE active ingredient which I thought would make it milder.

Took 1 pill at 2 PM after work. No effect. Waited till 9 PM and took 2. Honestly, probably took the two a little too soon. However, now it is 7.33 AM and I had one medium bowel movement that definitely looked like it needed to come out. I feel my bowels moving, but I'm not really in pain. I've had two 1 minute episodes of cramping feeling, nothing awful. Hoping the pills continue to work."
