What are foods that do help with constipation. I use laxatives all of the time but I would like to find a way not to have to do that.
I remember Jose saying she deals with constipation from her meds. I'm sure my Methadone does the same.
I'd like to know what cereals and foods seem to help the best with constipation.
Thanks,

Ada,
What you take for constipation come sometimes make things worse. Laxatives will often damage the bowel if used for a very long time and the bowel may become even more sluggish and result in worse constipation.
It is best to use naturally high fibre foods and plenty of fluid.
If you do need some type of laxative then things like psyllium are the best nothing with chemical bowel stimulants like danthron .
Most PM doctors here who insert Intra-thecal pumps recommend psyllium in juice twice a day.
Good luck and hope it all works well
