    Plenty of hydration
    Getting a variety of healthy foods in... especially vegetables and fruits

    Regular exercise also helps

    I eat Activia yogurt twice a day. I know those Jamie Lee Curtis commercials are really corny :blushing: but it seems to help a lot!

    Pretty much this. if push comes to shove try some apple juice. you want plenty of high fiber foods.

    Take magnesium it was recommended to me by a doctor. It also helps regulate cravings for sweets and with reducing leg cramps when I work out. I take one pill every night of Nature Made high potency Magnesium 400 mg in the gel capsule. It really works!!!!!!!!

    Watch your fiber. Aim for 25-30g per day. You can get fiber in fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans and legumes.

    I was having the same issue for a little while - it sucked. :(

    I agree with most of the previous comments and I myself added Fiber Supplements into the mix. It didn't work immediately but now i seem to be fairly regular.

    FIBER and water. Eat lots of high fiber foods, which include bananas, prunes, peanut butter, whole grain breads, green beans, dried beans like navy beans, pinto beans etc. Also make sure you drink lots of water.

    1. Make sure you are getting enough fat in your diet.
    2. Coffee
    3. Fiber (doesn't work for me, but I hear it works for others)
    4. There is some kind of tea to help move things along that is pretty popular too.

    Prunes. I eat 5 to 7 a day as a snack when I'm having trouble. Water and fiber and exercise are all excellent, but sometimes my system still gets off and I don't go, so I'll eat prunes. I enjoy them anyway, so it's a win-win for me. :)

    Since I took antibiotics about a month ago I have had problems in that department. Along with what others have suggested, I also added accuflora (probiotic) supplement to my daily routine. I notice when I forget to take it I have more problems than when I take it twice daily. It seems to help!
