    Increase fiber (slowly), increase water, increase exercise. It may take about 2 to 4 weeks to feel the difference, but you will.

    How can you see it sorry I'm new

    In your settings it will ask if you want to keep your food diary private or "only friends" or public , you'll need to change it there . BTW I personally have a hard time "going" and I fell into the trap of increasing my fiber immediately to meet my goal # and did not GO for 3 days...pure hell. Anyways I can have a look if you like, I got a ton of advice that helped, hope I can pass it on![/quote]

    Its public now[/quote]

    Probably means that you've increased the fiber in your diet too quickly or you aren't eating enough? I can only guess without more info or seeing your food diary

    Ive had a problem with cronic constipation for as long as i can remember. It sucks. I am forever bloated and feel full even when i dont eat. Im drinking more water than i ever had and taking laxatives, stool softners and fiber daily and it still doesn't work.
