I eat a variety of fruit every morning, which helps to keep me regular.
If I add fiber, I like to add Citrucel.

Yeah, that's a possibility with the stool softener. I just want to stay away from taking laxatives since I think that can create a dependency. I've taken them for the past 2 weeks now and I'm afraid I will depend on it too much.
I've tried Miralax before and (TMI) all that does is give me liquid diarrhea, so it's the opposite extreme. And milk of magnesia doesn't work all that well. I literally have to take something like Dulcolax (or however you spell it).
