Thank you Aarcyn!
that's going above and beyond, you're too kind!
I've not heard of Amitiza or Relistor, I'll have to check those medication's names in Canada.
I take stool softeners only... I really don't want to take laxatives, as one can become 'dependent' on them long term. Best to try everything else first likely.
Dej, interesting about the oats/oatmeal and how it can affect the body. I had no idea! I'll have to try as suggested and eliminate that for a while to see if it works for me. Do you mean oatmeal solely, or all oats in general?
Upping my veggies and fruits even more so now
Debbie, when I mention "bulk" I mean bread and such. I used to take bulk-forming capsules, but much the same from my doc, was told to avoid them all together so I stopped taking them a while ago.
Thanks for all the great support and suggestions!
