    falx seeds for sure! I have eaten them all sorts of crazy ways that I never thought I would. They are good on salads not chopped up. Or my fiance brought some home ground up and they go good in your coffee, over cereal, in oatmeal... etc. Anywhere from no taste to a nice nutty flavor. You can also get flax seed supplements. :)

    oh!! i forgot that they make the supplements!!! do you know how many mg i would have to take a day?!?!

    The flaxseed oil supplement won't do much good in the poo dept., it will give you healthy Omega 3 fatty acids though! I'm a fan of Shakeology. I drink that and within 15 minutes I'm in the bathroom.

    At least 30 gms per day. Incorporate lots of veggies and drink plenty of water.

    I recommend taking a Metamucil supplement. It keeps you regular and is supposed to be good for cholesterol, digestion, and your heart. It's fiber when you aren't getting enough through food. Suggestion: the serving size says 6 capsules but you will likely only need one. If one isn't enough, increase from there. God bless!

    So, to put it bluntly.. the less you eat, the less you poop.. the healthier you eat, the less you poop.. Don't worry too much, unless you become constipated. Then, start with the most gentle relief first (more water, fruit, etc), and work your way up (OTC stool softeners) if no result. Your body is a truly efficient machine. Most of the time it knows what it is doing. It is possible to become dependant on laxatives, so use them wisely. (I work with the geriatric and chronically ill (ICU RN)... Trust me on this, don't abuse laxatives, I have seen the end of that line, and it is NOT pretty.. =)

    Somebody probably already mentioned this, but I definitely second the fiber. I also make sure I get a lot of fiber every day. Also, make sure you're drinking plenty of water. A gallon a day. :-)

    Someone mentioned prunes. Have you tried those orange essence prunes? Oh wow!! They are fabulous! Five of those a day should help you out pretty quickly! If your store doesn't have the orange essence or lemon essence ones, shop around for them, they're worth the trip! :-) Regular ones are good, too, but I prefer the orange and lemon ones.

    I take fiber in pill form like Fibercon as daily maintenance. I started gassing up and that took care of it for me. Start with half a pill or Metamucil if you've never done it before.
