Answers:
Drink a large glass of water with it & drink about 10 glasses of water/day!.
I use Fiber One cereal (2 portions fulfill your daily requirement for fiber 25-30mg/day)!. I also eat raw almonds!. Dark green veggies are also good for fiber!. Celery is almost all fiber!.
My MD suggested using acidophilus also!.
I also sometimes will use a generic Colace , a stool softener!.
Maybe it time you tried a health food store!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it can!. But it can also make it better!.
Like the previous poster said, drink TONS of water, that will help things along!.
Also, if you eat a few teaspons of oils (olive oil, canola oil, and sesame seed oil are all good ones) each day, this can help things "flow" better!.
You may also want to investigate eating habbits!. Sometimes people who eat too much sugar, too much caffeine, and/or who are lactose intolerant can have some of the same symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
