I can't remember the last time I took a $^@#

I had forgotten about that lovely side effect, teamed with the iron in the prenatals.

I've been drinking water non-stop but even that's not doing it. Any advice on high fiber foods or what are you ladies doing?

I know, TMI, but that' what this board is for, right? (or should I go elsewhere?)

Fiber one bars are yum! I bought he chocolate oats ones in bulk at BJs. I have one every night before bed, I also take 2 citricul every morning with a gigantic glass of water.

Its helping.

Cereal and veggies help too. oh and apple cider

I've been drinking water like crazy and taking metamucil but nothing helps. I walk around very uncomfortable every day. The metamucil makes me even more bloated and full feeling but not taking it means I don't go at all.

i guess Im kind of lucky on this one I have the opposite going on I go like 2 times a day at least. I really dont eat anything diffrent. Im pretty sure with my first it was the same way.

I had a big salad with lots of jalepenos in it last night and shortly after dinner was over I had to go to the bathroom, it was the best poo in a long time, I felt light again. Planning to make the same salad for dinner tonight.

I bought some double fiber bread - each slice is 6g of fiber, which is a pretty decent amount. I've been using it for french toast or regular toast or sandwiches - its a nice way to pack in some extra fiber.

I've also bought some dried fruits (including prunes) and almonds, which are also pretty high in fiber and should help things along.

I think baked beans also have a lot of fiber as well.

I hope things get moving for you soon!

Fresh fruits and veggies. I've also added prunes to my diet.

bearfootz · October 2012

Ahh, I'll have to get the prunes - those work everytime and I actually like those little buggers.

I had baked beans last night - but with mac & cheese so that was probably counteractive. Tonight is chili night - something has to light the fuse.

evertz · October 2012

Oh, like others have said, I've noticed spicy food helps too.

Good luck!

Fiber One brownies are SO good! Lots of fruits, apple juice, and prunes. OMG, the prunes. They did wonders for me. And it only took about 2-3 a day.

kristifav · October 2012

haha all this poo talk is cracking me up, but I am so glad I'm not alone! And now I have lots of good ideas since obviously water and dried apricots aren't working.

saw you are in austin. I am so jealous. I was born and raised in Austin, but now in the northeast. blerg. and, of course, I am craving some good brisket with burnt ends.

I had this issue for THREE WEEKS! I was on the just about to call the Dr. when I decided to try prune juice... VIOLA.. it works! I drink a glass every day now. Nothing else worked for me.

My friend recommended a cereal called Cracklin Oat Bran. It has changed my life. Go out and spend the $5 on a tiny box, you will not regret it.

Take some probiotics! I get mine from the health food store and make sure they're refrigerated. That or more greens or veggies, but probiotics have worked the best for me.

I luckily haven't had this problem -- but I only go once a day now, and it used to be 2-3 times. I drink lots of water and try to have fruits, veggies, and whole grains every day. An occasional cup of coffee also helps.
