Before taking colace I had chronic, painful constipation as a symptom of IBS. I would go through bouts where it was so painful just to move, not to mention calling out from work and missing classes. When I tried colace it was on a whim, but it helped with ALL of my problems! Now I don’t even get constipated as long as I take this a few times a week. I really reccomend it!
