Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Jerry, nice to see you are there, though you don't post much. I have had constipation for the longest, but I found a fail-safe and healthy remedy (which is as old as humanity): I have my coffee with two slices of whole-wheat toast for breakfast, but instead of buttering them, I pour raw olive oil on them (extra quality virgin olive oil). I bought a little oil decanter so that it trickles out and isn't a mess. Raw olive oil is good for just about everything and it's a great anti-oxidant into the bargain.
I also have an emergency solution when all else fails: glycerin suppositories!
Hugs
