    stop adding fiber now that you are constipated. drink all the water you can manage. But no more fiber until you have relief, it is only making things worse!

    For the meantime, you might try an over the counter laxative to get yourself back to "normal" again. Once you are, add 2 tablespoons of flax meal (ground flax seed) to your daily diet. You can add it to almost anything: yogurt, the breading on your chicken, into baked goods, in smoothies, etc. It has a lot of fiber and is also high in Omega-3s and lingans. You'll not only get the benefits of the added fiber, but you'll be helping your good cholesterol level, as well. If 2 tablespoons a day don't help, increase the amount. You can increase the amount over time, in any case, once your body gets used to the extra fiber intake. I know people who suffered from chronic constipation who have added flax to their diet and no longer have problems.

    You can find flax meal at health stores, Trader Joe's, Costco and possibly at regular grocery stores, too.

    Fart!!!!:laugh:

    Just kidding......try warm prune juice. Souds gross but works. Also increase your water. Sometimes this can happen when you increase your fiber intake. You may think you are drinking enough but probably need to drink even more. Good luck.
