Brief Answer:
Hello. You can try Miralax

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Miralax is an effective non-stimulating laxative that can be very effective when combined with plenty of liquids.

However, if that doesn't help with the constipation, you need to see your doctor for an evaluation since you may have a stool impaction that would require manual disimpaction.
