Many people have issues with "staying regular" when it comes to their bowel habits.
I think you have to figure out what you can use now and as a maintence should this become a long-term issue.
For most people I know, a couple of Fig Newtons, celery, broccoli,apples or meloms are you best first line up. These are the least harsh and eassily maintainable.
Also adequate hydration is important. Most people drink pretty good in the summer because its hot but mot dont realize how much insatible water loss occurs in the winter too.(Suggestion: drink it early in your day so you dont have to be potty tripping and distrubing that good sleep we all need...)
These are my best ideas for people who want something that will help but not disrupt the life that they started taking these meds to be able to enjoy.
Be Well.syringachalet
