One natural remedy that is very inexpensive But does have an odd bitter taste is epsom salts. If you put about 4-5 tablespoons of epsom salts in a glass of hot/warm water and mix it up and drink it down it Will have a laxative effect and make you poop. Epsom salts only cost around $10-12 or so for 4kg so that supply would last for many years. You may already have some on hand if you use them for foot soaks or baths. They're just mineral salts, totally safe to eat/drink - the only reason Not to eat them is because they have a laxative effect. You can adjust the dose as needed as you may find that 1-2 table spoons is enough to be a stool softener and allow you to go comfortably. Worst case with too much is that you may have to poo a bit more suddenly, which shouldn't be a big deal.

They don't taste great, so for the couple times I've ever mixed up and drank any I just do it quickly then drink water/rinse my mouth out with water to get the odd bitter taste out of my mouth. They do not taste like table salt at all.

Miralax, just use the generic from the drugstore. It comes as a mostly tasteless powder, mix as little or as much as you need. It tastes 2-3 days to work, but you can adjust how much you need and its something you can take everyday.
