Fiber One cereal works for me. The one that looks more like Frosted Flakes...not the sticks and twigs one!

Peaches... but to be honest with you... you may be doing too much and stress is a main factor for tense bowels... relax0

Busch Lite... whenever I drink it, it definitely cleans me out!0

OK, great ideas - here's answers to a few questions...
Very few and small eliminations for 4 wks now.
No to prunes, prune juice, but yes to lots water, flax seed, lots broccoli, fruit and high fiber cereal.
Thanks for the OTC products. Will look over what is there, looks like there's some good ones.
Really appreciate the help.

This is a very common ailment for people that have gone on a very low fat diet. If your fat intake drops too low, you don't have enough in your system to push things through. Check your fat levels in your diary, and if necessary, think about increasing your fat intake.
Please note, I'm not a doctor... I'm just a fellow sufferer.0 -

Over the counter product called Magnesium Citrate.
Wikipedia link about it.

I would add 250mls of Prune juice daily and eat raw spinach, broccoli.
If that didn't work, Coloxyl. Sometimes when you haven't gone for ages you need something to get it all going again, then maintain diet changes.0 -
Miralax is the greatest. It is very gentle but works great.0

my dr has told me to use magnisium citrate & miralax ....drink one bottle of mag.citrate per day every other day and drink miralax 1-2 times per day.... you might have to take it for a few days depending on how backed up u are....works for most people he says0

Go see your doctor! This is not something to be careless with.0
