Constipation...(eww, I know)

Has anyone had any luck with remedies for constipation?  It's been awful for me.  I am trying to drink a lot of fluids and eat a lot of fiber!!  If you have had this, what has worked for you??

    once I was able to stomach it the only thing that helps is coffee with two big spoonfuls of benefiber in it. works like a charm. my OB said 1 cup of real coffee a day is ok. ;)   good luck! constipation is horrible!  

    they also told me colace might help.

    Mine is horrible too. Last night I mixed half glass with prune juice and half the glass with cranberry juice and two hours later everything was working again.  Gross I know, but it worked!

    My dr. said I could use an OTC stool softner but only if I HAD to because he says your body can end up relying on them.  I've been doing apple juice.  The other day I had a glass that was half apple juice and half prune juice.  It worked pretty quick!

    If you get really bad and absolutely NOTHING else will work, try Senokot.  Just one or two with a ton of water.  I have the problem constantly and can go a full week without "going"  When nothing else works, I use the Senokot.  But I try everything else first.  When I get to the point where I can't even eat because nothing is moving around, I take the Senokot and it usually works within a couple of hours for me.
