I have a couple suggestions for you. Definitely increase your water consumption. A glass of water just after you get up in the mornings will help activate your complete digestive system, which includes your bowels. Keep a bottle of water by the bed if, like me, you don't go to the kitchen first thing in the morning. I take…

One tablespoon of flaxseed provides about 3 grams of fiber. You might also supplement with sugar-free Metamucil orange single serve packets. I've added flaxseed to oatmeal, soup, and even substituted it for eggs in recipes. (Google that.) I carry a couple Metamucil packets to add to bottled water to ward off the between…

My husband has severe psoriasis everywhere. He struggled with salves and creams for over 20 years. He now takes Humera every two weeks and it has done wonders. One thing his doctor recommended, which he mostly ignores, is taurine from red meat. He is a serious red meat kinda guy, but I have managed to cut back on it…

When I find myself getting hungry too early, I look back at what I ate and 9/10 I didn't have enough protein. For me, I need higher protein, fiber/roughage doesn't cut it. I get a fuller feeling, that lasts longer, from a boiled egg than serving of Fiber One cereal.

There is something missing from the many comments: nutrition. I can eat 1,200 calories in Jello pudding every day for six weeks. I'll lose weight. I'll also be malnourished. The human body needs a balance of oils, carbohydrates, protein, and fiber (and other stuff) to function healthily. Maybe someone doesn't want to call…

Which time? I gained my weight slowly, over several years, as my income increased and I had more things to do stuff for me. I used to cut my own grass, but I got married. I used to wash my own dishes, but I got a dishwasher. I used to have stairs to climb every day, then I got a single level house and a job with an…

Hello All! I am 47, post menopausal, and run my own small business. The first time I took a serious stab at losing weight was about 10 years ago when my husband and I followed the Adkins plan. I lost 15 lbs easily. Unfortunately, the salt in a lot of the food we were eating was causing me problems. I gained that weight…

Exercise and water. Brisk walking or jogging will help your intestines pick up the pace, and should help you process all that fiber. Increase the water to help keep your guts lubed.
