Despite increasing my fiber intake...I'm tired of passing either goat droppings or fence posts. What is everyone's magic solution to this? Trying to stay happy.

Because I take a narcotic, I do have trouble with this. I take Phillips milk of magnesia, and a good old glass of prune juice. problem gone...try it. ginnie

I use mineral oil 1/2 cup, wash it down with some juice or flavored drink.
use until desired results occur!

are there other sx such as gas ,bloating? You may want to consider adding some HCI (hydrichloric acid) once in a while. I take a magnesium powder called CALM which not only helps with my bowel but taken before bed helps me to relax. A friend of mine has had really good results drinking water with diatomaceous earth....check it out- i really like the idea of going after parasites and am ordering some to try:

I made a batch of Yakima fruit paste for my dad to try.
Seemed to be helping a bit & natural so they made the next batch with the recipe I gave them.

here's a old thread with the recipe- I used a senna tea in bags, not loose -

Here is the simple answer, assuming you can get it: "Fiber One" breakfast cereal. It's better tasting and more effective than anything else I have tried. I'm not sure if it's Kellogg's or Post (I don't have a box nearby at the moment).

I have no horse in this race. I am not a cereal salesman. I'm just a very satisfied customer. I don't own stock in Fiber One. My only relationship to it is to go to the grocery store, purchase it (at full bust-out retail price),take it home, eat it and, well...you know how it ends.
Good Luck!

I've been having quite a bit of success drinking aloe juice on a daily basis. It seems to assist my medication to work more reliably and I've been able to decrease from (2) 25-100 carbi-levo to 1 1/2 per dose. That being a great benefit, a secondary benefit has been wonderful regularity. Prior to the aloe, I was 4-5 days of no activity and then a desperate requirement to use an enema. Not fun!
A friend who has serious ulcers, started using aloe and it has eased his ulcer pain.

Apricot nectar kicks butt. I've had IBS for years and when I get backed up, that always does the trick. They sell it in the grocery store in cans, I just add a little to my morning juice and voila!
