Ways to improve regularity

[Guest guest]

Other ways to improve regularity include: Eat applesauce, oatmeal and/or pureed prunes daily. Sprinkle raw 's Wheat Bran® into shakes, applesauce and hot cereal. After four weeks, try baked potato with skin, whole grain breads, bran cereals with more than two grams of fiber per serving and slightly cooked vegetables. Chew these foods well as they can be difficult to digest. Drink lots of water. Exercise regularly. If your problem is still not resolved, you may use Dulcolax® suppository, Fleets® enema or Milk of Magnesia®. Remember, you must not use these on a regular basis. If these do not work for you, call your surgeon's office. Taking magnesium, 300- 600 mg often assists as well. Of course MOM has magnesium in it.Kathy J.
