Senokot
Have you talked to your Dr. about Senokot? It is a natural laxative made from vegetables and usually does not have cramping associated with results. Keep in mind that laxatives/stool softeners work by using some form of sodium to draw water out of your cells to "flush out" the stool.
Here's the info:
