    I take fiber tablets. Ever since I had my gallballder removed, I have difficulty. But usually its more than once a week. The doctor told me to take fiber tablets. though honestly I don't see any change.

    Try eating bananas. I believe one has over 20 grams of fiber

    Wholegrains (can get wholegrain, high fibre cereals from shops)
    nuts and seeds
    vegetables/fruit

    lots of fruits & veggies with good fiber (apples, bananas, broccoli, spinach, etc.)....nuts like walnuts and pecans have good fiber, but you really have to watch quanity eaten. if i'm a little constipated, BENEFIT is a great source for relief. it is not gritty/thick like metamucil, you can put it in anything like water or coffe or soup and never know it is there -- no order or taste to it. i often put a teaspoon in my yogart!

    I love raisin bran! But it has quite a few calories. I also like all bran garlic and herb crackers. I don't know how much fiber is in them, but I think it's quite a bit.

    beans! They are full of fiber and protein. Ground flax is good too. It's easy to just sprinkle it on things like oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, baked goods...
