### Human:\npumpkin pie constipates me. i basically eat pumpkin pie during thanksgiving and christmas holidays and i really like it but every year it constipates me so during those times i have to take extra combination stool softener/stimulant(docusate sodium/sennosides). i am 76 year old male and take prilosec for gerd. so i don't have gerd episodes otherwise my stomach feels good every day.\n\n### Assistant: you figured it out. either don't eat foods that cause constipation or take the appropriate precautions if you do. your plan of using stool softeners is just fine.
