Hello, I'm very constipated, about 4-5 days now. I have surgery on Monday (it's 6:30am Saturday here now) can I take colace, in hope that it will work before surgery? I will not see my surgeon until surgery day. I also have powdered magnesium if that's better (brand name is natural calm) Any help is appreciated Thank you
