sxpeaking of constipation...
Is there anything we can just take?
I'm pretty positive this is my issue, but not sure if I need a trip to the doc. I will call them, of course, but if I can avoid an internal, I would be happier.

Re: sxpeaking of constipation...
Try weight watchers pita breads. I usually cut them open and then stick them in the toaster with a slice of cheese to melt it.
It's got 9 grams of fiber and should help out anything clogged 
Fiber One Honey Cluster cereal is also a good choice. 14g of fiber for one serving and it doesn't taste like cardboard!

Re: sxpeaking of constipation...
Thanks ladies- but I am beyond food cures. I get plenty of fiber.
If coffee isn't doing the trick, then cereal won't help.

Re: sxpeaking of constipation...
I was going to say try applejuice, but if food remedies don't work for you I think a call to the doctor might be your only relief. I  you make doodie.

Is there a particular restaurant that makes you sick? There is a burger joint near my office that gives me the runs if I ever go there.

Re: sxpeaking of constipation...
the only thing that has helped me is radical diet changes.... I have a high fiber diet as well (lots of veg and fruits).... still get constipated. coffee does absolutely nothing to help my cause...
my radical diet change: one night, I had giant bowl of mini wheats... and followed it up with 2 servings of stewed prunes for dessert.
12 hours later, all was well 
I'm fairly certain that meal provided much more fiber than any fiber drink could.....

This is what my Dr just told me to take instead of Colace.

Totally took your advice without knowing it. Burger King.
Did the trick.
