Anyone here ever treated for severe constipation?

My sisters diabetes is causing another bout of severe constipation for days. She went to urgent care today and they told her since Miralax didn't work, take stool softener, an enema and Metamucil fiber..she's afraid of the strong Miralax did not work, that these new treatments won't too. Anyone ever have any other med/treatment?

If she is on the injectable weight loss type drugs ozyempeic, mounjaro, ect... it can cause severe constipation.
I have never had constipation severely( and I've been a diabetic since I was 44) until I tried those types of drugs.
Not worth it to me.
