The gentlest option may not be to your taste, the glycerin suppository. Usually works in less than an hour.
Stimulant herbs enhance muscular contractions (peristalsis) in the bowel. When I was using opiates, I had to use such a product quite regularly. Mine had senna, but there are many herbs with this effect. You can only know what you're comfortable with by trying them.
When I was really in a fix, I used a Fleet enema.
None of these methods should affect your valium taper.
I don't know where you got the idea that B-vitamins were bad for benzo withdrawal. Some have modest stimulatory effects. Here's a product designed to relieve benzo withdrawal, and it contains B-vitamins. http://www.lifehealthsolutions.com/calm/neurecover-bz.html
