In reply to constipation- need help desperately!, posted by babs on December 17, 2002, at 9:58:27

I haven't read the rest of the replies, so forgive if I'm repeating anything.

First, limited binding foods such as bananas, rice, tea, etc.

If you eat cereal, try Nabisco Shredded Wheat 'n Bran. It's in a brown box. Or sprinkle bran buds, flakes, etc. on other cereal.

Drink strong coffee.

Try psyillium (spelling) husks from health food store. Some evidence it's a little safer to take long term than Exlax, that sort of stuff. FiberCon, Metamucil better for ongoing use, I believe.

ADs, stims, anti-anxieties are notorious for this effect.
