    Try a bit of magnesium. My preferred one (I'm in the U.S.) is magnesium citrate. I take 2 Magnesium citrate in the morning, and two calcium/magnesium/vitamin D in the evening and I'm as regular as can be.

    Have you tried a FODMAP diet to figure out what triggers the constipation? For me it's bread. gluten full or gluten free, it makes no difference.
    I assume it's more about "starches", but I don't each much of that other than bread.

    Good luck! What sort of advice are you aiming for and CONGRATS on that loss!!!

    You're probably doing this already, but eat tons of fiber if you aren't. I used to have one bowel movement per week, now I have at least one per day. I wouldn't bother with the fiber supplements that you add to water, they won't soften up the food you eat. Just eat high fiber foods that are easy to digest. Good luck.
