Bit Embarrassing

It would be easier to advise you if we could see your food diary.

You can set your diary to track fiber. That might help you get an idea of how much you are getting and if you need to adjust.

I don't think you're having enough vegetables and wholegrains and fibre.

Prunes, pears and blackberries are high in fibre. Pinto beans are (you could have a mexican themed meal with beans and burritos, lean mince, tonnes of salad etc), Peas are high etc.

I stole this from Men's Health:
AT BREAKFAST
1. Fill your juice glass with nectar instead of a watery juice from concentrate. Nectar is apricot, peach, pear, or papaya juice, mixed with fiber-rich pulp. It packs more than a gram (g) of fiber per 8-ounce glass.

2. Drop a whole orange into the blender to flavor your morning smoothie. (Uh, peel it first.) One orange has nearly 3 g more fiber than even the pulpiest orange juice.

3. Spice up your eggs. A third of a cup of chopped onion and a clove of garlic will add a gram of fiber to a couple of scrambled eggs. Or fold the eggs omelette-style over ? cup of cooked broccoli for 2 additional grams.

4. Heat up a bowl of oat bran instead of oatmeal; it has nearly 2 g more fiber. And add even more flavor and fiber by stirring in a quarter cup of raisins or chopped dates before nuking it.

5. Sprinkle toasted wheat germ over your favorite cold cereal, or stir a few spoonfuls into yogurt. Two tablespoons equals close to 2 extra grams of fiber.

6. Grab an Asian pear instead of the regular kind. They taste similar, but the Asian variety has significantly more fiber--4 g per pear.

7. Buy spreadable fiber, a.k.a. almond butter, for your whole-wheat toast. Two tablespoons adds a couple of grams of fiber, along with a healthy dose of heart-protecting fats and vitamins like E.

8. Whip up a pack of hot-chocolate mix instead of a second cup of coffee. Most instant-cocoa mixes have up to 3 g fiber per cup.

AT LUNCH
9. Hate whole wheat? Make your sandwiches with rye bread. One slice has almost 2 g fiber--twice the amount found in white bread.

10. Opt for burritos instead of tacos. Flour tortillas have more fiber than taco shells. Even better, make the burrito whole wheat for still more fiber per serving.

11. And order that burrito with meat and beans instead of meat alone. Half a cup of beans adds 6 g fiber to your meal.

12. Stow some microwavable soup in your desk for when you need to work through lunch. Lentil, chili with beans, ham-and-bean, and black-bean each have between 6 and 10 g fiber per cup.

13. Shower your pizza with oregano or basil. A teaspoon of either spice gives you an extra gram of fiber. Order it with mushrooms and you'll get one more.

14. Build your burger with a sesame-seed bun instead of the plain variety. Sesame seeds add half a gram of fiber per burger.

15. Order your dog with sauerkraut. Every quarter cup you pile on adds close to a gram of fiber to your frank.

Skip the laxative - yuck. Try a stool softener. It has a similar effect, minus the explosive diarrhea.

When I was pregnant, I got anemic and they made me take approximately 5 billion grams of iron a day.
Try pooping iron turds - not so fun.
Stool softeners became my best friend.

I tried everything, and the only thing that really helped was coffee.

laxatives are bad.. go stool softener.. much gentler on the system..
For me the coffee works.. and activia..

All the goooood answers have been taken lol but drinking more and more water will help also, and should be done anyways...I had the same problem :blushing: when I first started, I adjusted things and now it's all good

Try Activia yogurt!

I did try Activia but I am not a massive yoghut fan and I probably didn't give it long enough lol.

Put it in a Smoothie!!! I switched to activia because it had less calories.. I like the Strawberry smoothie, with mago and strawberry. That is all ya need, SO yummy.

Try Psyllium Husk I take these along with my other multi vitamins

^^THIS. I recommend Natural Brand (Gnc) - Colon Pure - Purified Psyllium Husk. I tsp has 5g and only 20 calories.
