Story of my life...at least after two kids. Have used lots of things over the years, but have left all the icky unnatural stuff behind (pardon the pun).

Every body has different triggers for release; used to be able to go after eating dried prunes. Or Maxwell House coffee. Never failed. Now have moved (again, so sorry, puns oiy!) on to stronger coffee...expresso. Senna works also (if it's been longer than a few days). Mag Citrate is ok for after a week but be careful with it.

Drinking lotss of water is recommended. That fruit & yogurt thing never worked for me, but, like I said everyone is different. Psyllium husks are the last, last resort here. You can get them at the health food store. Usually, it only takes a few teaspoons of the stuff. Mix it into something. I can't mix it into drinks anymore. Choking stuff is worse than no crappy stuff.

Hope it helps~
