Try eating raw for a week. If you can't do raw do vegetarian. Stay away from the meat and dairy. That should help get things moving then you can go back to eating healthy/normal0

I like probiotics (GoodBelly is a dairy free option). I have to keep my fiber low because of IBD but I can tolerate that.0

Take a stool softener not worth it0

I had this too. I was drinking more water- TONS of fiber and still ... so I went to the laxatives but I don't want to live on laxatives. So I started to look at what's IN laxatives. ah- magnesium. I purchased a magnesium supplement and took it in the morning and before bed with a full glass of water and VOILA! it's magic!
now I only take it once a day, every morning with my fish oil and the regularity is back. IF I get sluggish, I'll take 2 a day. I never need more than 2 and never have to use laxatives or anything stronger.
I don't know if it will help you, but it works wonders for me
hope this helps - good luck- I know how uncomfortable you feel0 -
Gotta love the interwebs!

Some of the more pertinent findings are as follows:
1. The average weight of stools of 115 individuals is 123.6 Gm., with a standard deviation of 40.2 and a standard error of 3.74.

That's about 0.27 pounds, with a standard deviation of 0.09 pounds.

So do you guys think that could be the reason for my extra 6lbs in two days? I've found that I'm weighing usually about 4-6lbs heavier than normal no matter what I do right now, and am wondering if this is the reason why.0
