Default constipation and water

We have started to experience this joyful PD symptom on a more-than-we-care-to-admit basis, and have experimented with many things, most of which do not work. Coconut oil, tons of fiber (try cups of blueberries in a smoothie, very little effect), teas, even miralax, walking/exercise as well. Our research indicates these things should all help, but they really do not seem to.

Anyone have anything that helps with this consistently?

Also, in drinking the vast quantities of water we have read help with constipation, we are experiencing dizziness and I am wondering if all of this water could be throwing electrolytes out of balance? Anyone have any experience with that, or any ideas of what a LOT of water can do to someone who is drinking more than normal in an effort to help with the constipation?

Thanks for any and all comments.
