Can somebody recommend a good laxative that does not contain cascara and senna?

I use a combination of magnesium citrate, ground flax, and a high fiber diet. There are more suggestions on the website at the following link:

Jaxi,

I experience constipation at times and too loose bowel movements other times. For constipation, I have found that the prescription Movantik works well for me and doesn’t cause diarrhea. It is supposed to be for opioid induced constipation, but even though I am not in any opioids, my doctor has continued to prescribe it as needed for me. I only use it occasionally for a few days at a time.
