Just damn
Oh, Thank God there's a reason I always hated being down-wind......
And if that doesn't work....MiraLax...prescription but very "kind".....
An alternative is decreasing my intake of fine wines which are very dehyrative....an alternative which I have not yet given the time of day!
I saw the headline and thought this had to do with Internet access. Since it's the other kind of fiber, I might add that fiber sure worked for me!!
Well, considering the subject of the article, this is probably a good place to share some very useful info:

I have absolutely no connection to the above. I recently came across it, ordered a free sample for an old lady I know, who tried just about every over the counter and prescription medication to relieve her constipation and nothing really worked well, until this. It is some specially prepared aloe vera, I wasn't sure it would work, this lady was also very sceptical, but tried it, and it totally alleviated her problem, and it's all natural. And can be taken long term.
I wouldn't have believed it, but it worked for her, after she tried literally everything else without any real success. I think it's worth a try for anyone having a problem.
I may order some, just to keep it around, for possible occasional need.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
LOL!!! I could almost swear that Phoebe Snow sang the jingle on that SNL skit ( "Colon Blow and you-u-u-u in the morning").
Prune Juice works and is used in hospitals and nursing homes all over the place. It DOES work! It's also high in iron.
It's more likely the OTHER foods besides the FIBER that are causing the problems......sheesh. In other words, decrease white bread, sugar, white rice, etc.....increase green and red vegetables, and add a little psyllium to the daily diet, too!
Refried beans and kim chee. It churns things up inside, but it cleans you out.
There's always cascara. It's been used for years. Supposedly mild.

The Internet seems so stopped up that I must have hit the post button twice.
How long does it take to eat that many apples?
I remember that one! Hilarious!
Hmmm.... Ever been stuck in morning traffic after scarfing down a bran muffin and half a pot of coffee?
