you can supplement it with those products, but you really do need to focus on getting your fiber through food.
it’s actually a pretty good way to manage calorie intake, too. you’re so busy stacking up the fruits and vegetables you don’t have time for simple carbs that have no fiber and too much sugar.
and the guy above is dead on target – if you’re still eating foods that bind you up, not much will help until you cut down on those. apples and bananas are two things that will cause constipation – but there’s a lot of fruit that will help move things along – the three P’s especially: prunes, peaches and pears. good salads will help.
and probably what helped me the most was finding a yummy multigrain bread to eat. and don’t eat ANY other kind of bread once you find it. look for a decent protein content, and at least 4-5 g fiber per serving.
drink lots of water.
and talk to your doctor. there are other disorders and meds that have constipation as a side effect.
It may not solve your problem as you will still eat items that will make you constipated and cause you to strain. Your best bet is to eat the fiber in your food and not as a supplement.
i am not a doctor but i know alot of them and they say that it doesnt really help i think it would be better to jus eat it naturally in your diet
