Without getting too graphic, my RO nurse finally suggested that I get some rubber gloves. Afraid so, but that was the only thing that finally did the trick - and I'd tried all the laxatives, suppositories and general oral things that are supposed to in this case. I live alone so it was all up to me.
There you have it.
