Most of my life I've had constipation
issues off and on, mainly having to use a
lot of effort to get things moving, which
usually leaves me with a headache
afterward.
Lately I think I hurt my rectal muscles
while straining, so I decided to try some
fiber to see if I can get things moving
without much strain. I took some Benefiber
mix, but having to drink the stuff was
starting to get tedious and I really
didn't care to mix it in my food, it also
didn't seem to help much, perhaps I wasn't
using enough of it.
Anyway, my friend gave me some Atkins
Fiber Drops that he never used and the
stuff seemed to work like magic, my stool
flowed as if lubricated. However, it seems
that my friend in his generousity didn't
realize that the stuff has been
dicontinued and I can't find anywhere the
has it in stock. So now I have to find
something new to take.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I
can try on a regular basis? Changing my
diet really isn't an option right now, so
I'd prefer a suppliment or something.
Preferably not a powder unless it is the
best option. Basically what I want is
something to make my stool come out
smoother, less strain.
