Yes - try a bulking agent: in the UK we have two well-known ones: Fybogel and Regulan. They're made from aspaghula husk, a natural vegetable product.
One sachet each evening of either, and after a few days you'll go like a dream!

This type of product is much healthier than laxatives which have a rebound constipation effect after a period of over-use.
