    I found taking magnesium works great for times like these. And as others have said, make sure you're getting enough water! Your body uses a lot of water to, um, keep traffic moving along smoothly...

    Don't know if it's been suggested yet but there are breads out that have more fiber in them, also fiber one makes great tasting cereal, yogurt, bars, muffins, even brownies and they are packed with fiber but not the cardboard taste. There are also fiber supplements that you can mix into drinks and they (supposedly) don't change the texture or taste of your drink, or even fiber pills. Make sure you get enough water.

    ETA: Chai and flax seeds can really help out too! Put some in a drink or sprinkled over something and have at it. That should get you moving again :smile:

    I had the same thing a while ago and went to the Doctor. Take Benefiber supplement (available at a drugstore or grocery store) and LOTS of water. It takes time, but will go away.

    Now I'm very conscious of my fiber intake...Avocado is awesome, and use double fiber breads. I also put high fiber cereal in my protein shakes.

    I can only speak for myself, if I go very low fat I get bunged up, no way around it. So, if you look at my diary you'll lots of olive oil. Drink enough water, eat fruit and veg, have some olive oil drizzled over your salad, simplez *squeaks* :wink:

    Kellogg's fiber plus bars are great here and they really taste good. Plus they are not high calories.
