    Firstly, ty for starting this Topic, it is important and let's face it, we all do it!
    I have MASSIVE issues in this area due to spinal damage and am under Uroligist and GI Specialist for same.
    Have been hospitalised several times for impacted bowel and blockage. Not fun! Especially when Nurses stand in corridor and yell from one end to the other ''has Mrs ....had a %$#@ yet?'' ,lol
    You can have TOO much fibre my Specialist told me and that was a part of my problem, weird!
    Overuse of OTC , even Metamucil, can be bad for you.
    Drink as much water as you can manage, eat the 30g fibre daily with inclusion of peel still on fruits and vegetables where you can and exercise. also eating position on loo is a thing to learn about, highly recommended at recent Specialist Conferences [yep on ...........pooping].
    Many thanks for the comments on chia seeds, must try!
    Good luck

    OATMEAL. eat that every day for breakfast and it'll come out of you like lava LOL. not diarrhea but you'll feel like you have squeaky clean intestines! :D

    oh, and make sure you drink LOTS of water throughout the day. too much fiber + little water can cause constipation.

    high fiber is binding without adequate hydration... So hydration is essential. also I agree with the comments about a healthy fat intake. For this I use raw coconut oil.
