What is your protein goal? Have you increased your exercise lately? If so, you may want to up your protein to compensate.

I use Colace and Smooth Move tea for general constipation issues. My PCP does not recommend laxatives - he prefers to treat the problem from below - i.e. using suppositories or enemas. I've only had to do that once.
