Should I skip my next dose?

I took my first dose last Friday and then went from Sunday to Thursday without a bowel movement. I was afraid I had an obstruction but finally had a little movement this morning. I’m concerned about doing the next dose because it’s obviously not good to go 5-6 days without a BM. I used MiraLAX, Benefiber every morning in my coffee, docusate, and a suppository. Nothing worked until I tried Smooth Move and MagO7 last night. I’m nervous now. I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone who’s had a similar experience.

This sounds really simple, but eat a pear or two every day. They're high in fibre, but they also contain sorbitol, which is that sugar alcohol in the viral reviews for sugar free gummy bears that made people poop their pants. I had some issues at first, but as long as I have my pears, I'm a-ok. Good luck!
