a bowl of oatmeal with added raisens or other dried fruit.

eat whole grains.

be careful of some of the products like metamucil. you HAVE to drink LOTS of water. a member here had a horrible experience with a blockage.

drinking too much caffiene ( gasp ) can have a dehydrating effect. herbal teas can be soothing and add the extra water you need.

also...watch your dairy intake. that can bind you up.
