SlowMag. I take SlowMag for the magnesium, obviously. One of the sides of SlowMag, any magnesium, is a laxative effect. If I'm having issues from taking the Tramadol I take a SlowMag tablet on an empty stomach before going to bed. It works like a charm for me. Otherwise take SlowMag with food.

Adding more fiber can certainly help. There's a drink out, can't remember the name of it, it's sugar-free and has 5 grams of fiber per pouch. You don't even know you're drinking any fiber. Can't taste it, can't feel it. Tastes good too! And it's not super expensive either. If I can remember the name of it I'll let you know.

There's also Colace, a stool softener that does nothing but soften the stools. There's no cramping or anything like that with it. It works real well too.
