  I have the opposite problem : / wish I could help, and wish I knew what's going on with me as well.

  I was there, add dry apricots, a lot of it 10 pieces minimum, to your diet along with a big glass or orange juice and 1 or 2 fresh oranges.
  
  Make sure not to eat white bread and drink a lot of water, good luck!

  Colace did not work for me. It upset my stomach bad. I take 2 tsps of Metamucil each day and it works very well without being too harsh and upsetting my stomach.

  Prune juice. Seriously. My dr told me to drink just a shot glass of it a day for iron, but DH thought she meant a whole glass and we argued about it so much I was just like FINE and drank a whole glass. Probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I spent the whole night in the bathroom.

  After all 4 of my babies I have had to use Miralax for the first 2 weeks home to keep things moving and first every day, then phased it out to every few days till I didn't need the help anymore...

  My MIL has prepared cut up green apples, heated in water in the microwave for 12minutes with a little honey added. Great for regularity. I had an urgent c-section and came home on pain meds which blocked me the entire time in the hospital. I went back to normal after two days at home. I only took a few of the pain meds when I got home.
