Don't take a laxative, because you might cramp. Especially as you've had what sounds a little like IBS, be careful. I took a stool softener (generic drug store kind is fine), and it helped tremendously. It works by drawing more water into the bowel, not by stimulating it, and you are drinking so much water that you should get great results.
