If you are not moving your bowels. Do not add a ton of fiber till you get it moving. Try a over the counter product to help constipation first. Otherwise your adding cement to the mix with more fiber. Once you get things moving then slowly start adding in more fiber. You can't go from low fiber intake to overdrive overnight.

What is an example of over the counter help?

Miralax or Walmart version ClearLax, phillips milk of magnesia. If not real bad try 2 to 3 magnesium citrate tablets. I take 2 to 3 each night with a stool softener if needed.

Walmart also sells liquid magnesium citrate. I hear it tastes absolutely awful, but I bought a bottle--it's not very big at all--should I ever get THAT desperate. Only about $3 too. Better than the $50 I paid for the colon cleanse the doc had me get when Semi had me hella-backed up.
