    EXERCISE helps too! When we exercise it helps with muscles in torso to move the intestines and movement. Also prune juice mixed with apple juice. Lots of water. And what a doctor told me which is so true. When nature does call go! And don't rush it either. Sit and be patient.

    Prunes, Yogurt, Raisins. If they don't work,:flowerforyou: I take Citricel everyday and go every morning without fail. No matter what I eat the day before. Watch bulk forming fiber like Metamucile it will constipate you big time if you don't drink tons of water.

    ground flax seed. It can be added to just about anything without altering the flavor. I personally add it regularly to oatmeal, smoothies and baked goods.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have been using the smooth tea for a while but it isn't doing the job. I eat tons of fruit and veggies. I will look into the probiotic and the flax seed. I had forgotten about prune juice ( always a help :0).

    Activia light worked wonders for me. I ate and drank everything that everyone said would work - lots of fiber, water, fruits and veggies and nothing worked. So then I tried Activia - after about 5 days - I started going everyday. Here it is 3 months later - I still go everyday - at the same time too. You can't get any better than that! Regularity is awesome!
