I have the problem a little because of the pain medication I'm on for my migraines......side effect of that med. I keep ice in a 32 oz container & keep either water or caffeine free tea next to me constantly so that I am always drinking. I only like drinks when they are cold, so have to keep the ice in it constantly to keep myself drinking.
I have started eating yogurt. I never liked it before, but got it for my dogs food & ended up eating it myself....along with milled flax seed. My dog's coats look great, so figured it would help my hair & also helps me not get constipated. I also found there are other foods that really do the trick......anything teriyaki.....within 5 minutes of eating it, I better have a bathroom close by. Also honey roasted sun flower seeds work the same way.....maybe a tablespoon or 2 & that bathroom better be close. I also found some shrimp that worked the same way....both times I cooked that dinner, it did the same thing. Nothing else works like that, but you may be able to find certain foods that will work that way for you by experimenting.
Warm prune juice is also something that works well. My friend has this problem & used prune juice......cleared herself out well & clogged her toilet.....oh well, I won't go into that....so you know it works well. Only problem, prune juice didn't help her toilet.
Just experiment with some of these things & you will find what works with you. When I was dealing with anorexia, I used laxitives & just don't go back to that.....the right foods can work better & naturally & much better for us.
Good luck,
Debbie
