[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 650845, member: 1963"] CB. If you can eat a large bowl of real oatmeal (not the instant stuff) every day for breakfast and try to get five servings of fruit and high fiber veggies every day, and substitute brown whole grains for white processed grains, and be sure to drink 8 glasses of non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic beverages per day, your colon will thank you. If you like plums, try prunes. They are tasty eaten right out of the package. Try dried apricots, they are yummy, too. Just don't go crazy on them. Eat leafy greens, raw crunchy veggies, as much raw/stewed fruit as you can. Cut back on meat. Eat root veggies raw or steamed. Cut back on processed foods and frozen meals. Add fiber to your diet by using Benefiber. It I is a flavorless, powdered fiber that can be added to foods, and hot or cold beverages. It is odourless, flavorless, and doesn't alter texture. It also won't give you gas. Just follow the instructions on the package. Be sure to push liquids if you are adding fiber to your diet. Try to walk as much as you can. Motion is lotion when it comes to bowel motility. Psyllium is also good, but it can be a little harsh on the innards for some people, but be assured, missing three days just means you are a little bunged up,not that you are potentially dying. Those of us who have to take pain medications, or some psychiatric medications deal with this problem all the time. I take psychiatric medications that cause constipation and diabetes medications that cause diarrhea. My poor colon doesn't know if it's coming or going. [/QUOTE]
