    Fiber One. Low calorie, only takes a half a cup a day. Lots of water. And I wouldn't recommend it as a bedtime snack. Also remember that if you take fiber supplements, make sure you don't take them at the same time you take any medication - fiber can decrease the absorption rate. Wait at LEAST two hours after, then go for the fiber. F1's da BOMB. pun intended. ;)

    Drink a cup of coffee first thing in the AM on an empty stomach! Works for me everytime.

    Ouch! I've done that too, but it really messes up my stomach.

    A cup of plain warm water with a half teaspoon of mint (fresh or extract) will help too and it will ease mild stomach cramps from gas and constipation. My grandmother swore by it and I've found she was right. Very gentle, no calories, and it freshens your breath.

    Definitely do this...it works! If all else fails, start eating fiber one bars. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed about, we've all been thru it. There's nothing more relaxing than sitting on my throne with a nice hot cup of mud...seriously.:bigsmile:
