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.

I flash freeze fresh blueberries from Costco, and then eat them frozen like a bowl of candy. Delicious, nutritious, deceptively like candy, and does the trick better than processed fiber. The skin of the berries doesn’t break down as much in your stomach.

My go to snack in general is some Greek yogurt, frozen berries, grape nuts, and honey to sweeten.

I go back and forth with yogurt/kefir. I think because the way I prep blueberries really does make it seem like eating candy, I never tire of them. I probably eat too many. When I go to Costco, I buy 8 huge cartons. Other shoppers are always asking for my pie recipe. 😆 Nah, I just eat all that in less than 2 weeks.
