I take citracul, it helps and it's safe.

Eat as much fruit as you can handle; this is the all natual method Tomorrow you wont have a probalem anymore; (& veggies with FIBER)

Colace should help.  Get the 50mg kind and follow the instruction on the back (I usually just take 1-2 per day).  It's not a laxative, just a stool softener.

Prune Juice as well

Ditto.

Dried fruit and bran works well, too.

Colace, coffee, or ('cause I'm mildly lactose intolerant, so this may not work for you) two big glasses of milk.

my saviour has been FiberSure. It's the tasteless powder suppliment that I put in my water, cereal, etc. It takes a day or so to work...but it keeps things moving!

I take Colace, recommended by the dr, and it works.  I actually take the metamucil caplets everyday now and those work great.  Good luck!

Drinking apple juice (Simply Apple is THE BEST!) helps me out.

You can take a stool softener but DO NOT take a laxative unless you absolutely have to! I was to the point where I had to take one at like 18 weeks and I was told to go ahead because nothing was getting it to budge.. well I ended up nearly dehydrated so don't go that route! Drink water.. eat fruit.. and take a stool softener and hopefully you can go!

Yep, it works... and it's safe.

Colace.  Also - Raisin bran cereal and some coffee seems to help too!

I love dried apricots as well as prunes.

My OB said Colace 100 mgs max 3 times a day- and tums is ok too-feel better

they have those yogurts now that regulate your Bm's and also 2 fiber pills a day.

Here's what I do everyday:

2 prunes in the morning

as much water as I can stomach during the day

2-3 Benefiber chewables at night

If I get really bound up, I use a glyceryn supposatory- not pleasant but very effective.?

That works very well for me- GL! (it does take a few days to go into effect though)

And eat lots and lots of fruit!?

I ate pita and hummus everyday for lunch and that sure did the trick!

And drown yourself in water!!! It's all for the better.?

Miralax, it's a mild stool softener that's meant to be taken every day.  It disolves in anything and is tastelss...it has seriously been my savior

My doctor told me to take Colace and it's been a life saver!  Walgreens makes a generic brand that is way less expensive.  Also, be sure to drink plenty of water.  That helps to keep things moving!

Prunes, baby. ?Oh, and this is not TMI, this is pregnancy!
