I know it might sound weird to others, but my daughter struggled bad with going poop Doc took x-rays or her stomach, and she was literally filled with poop. Now she is empty, and seems much happier about going potty. First 4 days she was on 17g breakfast, lunch, and dinner to clean her out. Now she is on a maintenance dose of 17g after lunch, and all is well. It's amazing!

Wife took this for a while. I think there may be some side effects from it. It was either on news or one of those commercials where a lawyer wants you to call in and report any side effects as a law suit is pending...

Anyways once my wife and I got married she started eating more the way I do. The increase fiber did the trick. Most people need around 30-40 grams a day and very few get that. Hydration and fiber equals regular bowel movements.

Finally magnesium works very well for constipation.
