Yogurt, Fiber One bars daily. Drink a LOT of water (as much as possible). Metamucil "Simply Clear" for more fiber in the diet.

I eat a lot of vegetables too - as much as I can get.

I eat 1 apple daily.

With my yogurt (daily too), I combine raisins and other dried fruits - sometimes prunes and dried apricots, plus a few pineapple tidbits.

Magnesium supplements.

I drink at least 2 liters of water daily, and at least 30g daily of fiber in the diet. I take stool softener when it gets to the point that I've literally gone days without movement.

I have difficulty having a regular BM, period. I don't know what to do myself at this point. I've followed all the suggested methods! I believe mine may be more related to my medication, versus the MS.
