Boiled peanuts are the answer.A friend went to the drag race at Rockingham N.C., said a bunch of yankees sitting behind him discovered boiled peanuts, spent all day running back and forth to the concession stand buying them. The next day he said they were back, but this time they spent most of the day running back and forth to the crapper.
My dream/nitemare was to see Pat Schroeder, rep from CO, on SNL doing that "Colon Blow" commercial spoof with that usual, constipated look on her face!!!
pineapple is the best - along with black coffee.
ROFL!
A low-fat, high veggie and fruit diet means you'll never have a problem. Oatmeal is great too, the real stuff you cook, not instant. Why do you think the old fellow on the Quaker box is smiling?
Indeed it does. One's digestive tract is all about what goes in through the mouth.
Old timey remedies still work: bran cereal/muffins, prunes, yogurt (with the live bacillus) ...these are all mild and
Yes indeed. A small bowl of real oatmeal with an apple cooked in, a dash of cinnamon, topped with live bacillus yogurt is yummy too. Forget salads, but cooked veggies with lunch and dinner work too. I like the Zone Diet idea of 3 or 4 ounces of low-fat protein at each meal, with the rest of your plate covered with veggies. Get your fats from fish oil, cod liver oil, and olive oil only. Fats in butter, cream, beef tend to promote constipation imo.

Ah, transit time. Sounds like public transportation. LOL. I worked at an ad agency where our client was trying to sell a disgusting gloppy fiber concoction. We learned all about transit time, much to our dismay. We'd come in every morning and ask, "How's your transit time?"
Do you know that natives in Africa have no more than a 12-hour transit time, and very low cancer rates while in the USA transit time is 24-36 hours or more? Africans in the studies eat very high fiber diets.
Well, there you have it.
Robinul, amongst others, works for IBS, and spastic bile ducts...it's an atropine derivative...I have a standing prescription for it because of my bile duct, but it works well on the IBS I get sometimes...
Considering what spews from the NYT on a daily basis, it is clear that the Times has more than enough fiber in their diet.
