Plugged up....

Been battling constipation the last week. 2 nights ago I took senokot which worked the next morning like a cham but the next day after that now no poop and I know I have to go. Im gassy something fierce .... What things do you all do when you need to get more fibre in? Im really sensitive to fibre so its difficult. Im 6 years out and have not figured out this whole fibre game! Thank you all

Generally I eat an apple before bedtime. But you must eat the skin of the apple also. Here are some of the other suggestions made in past posts to deal with constipation:

Smooth Move Herbal Tea
Prune juice (warmed)
Prunes (4 in the morning and 4 at night)
Magnesium citrate
Insoluble fibers (Garden of Life Raw Fiber or Renew Life Triple Fiber).
Haribo sugar free Gummy Bears
Aerobic Magnesium 07
Low Fat Bran Muffin (recipe). 80 calories each
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups bran Cereal
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg
½ tablespoon applesauce
optional: banana, berries, mini chocolate chips
Bake 400° F for 22 minutes

Water water water water water water and water.

Exercise too.

Miralax in warm water! I took it the other day because I hadn't had a BM in over a month- worked within a couple hours.
