I had a bad spell of blockages causing a visit to hospital, the advice cut back in fibre...too much whole grains and legumes caused my blockages and they advised increase soluble fat from meat, prunes and olive oil. That was 10 years ago and never suffered since. Almost every senior I know who use Metamucil have bladder infections and more frequent constipation....do not rely on over counter meds folks,

Watching all your interviews Doc B! Thank you!

Dairy in all forms was the biggest constipation culprit for me. Eliminating dairy eliminated constipation. Then adding food with fiber and resistant starch bulked up my poops so that pooping is quick and complete.

The best vegetable in the world for constipation is OKRA. Saute with garlic and oil, do not cut, as the slimy substance will come out and most people do not like the taste of it. Keep it whole and saute only until it turns slightly dark green, only for about 1 or 2 minutes. It should be still firm and have a slight crunch to it. You can add some spices if you like but I used garlic salt, just a bit, not a salt lover. I usually choose the small Okra and still green, not the yellowish ones as they are a bit older and tougher. Okra also is good in batter and fried, but it is healthier when sauteed. I had a friend who had a problem with constipation and she suffered for 4 days not being able to go. I made her the sauteed Okra and didn't tell her the effect of this powerful little veggie. The next day she told me that it worked like a "BOMB" and she felt sooo great and relieved. So, try it, folks. This is a thousand times better than any other fruits or veggies. No need for med. You will love it, and please, thank God for His creation.

Cup of black coffee and an apple in the AM, plus a brisk walk. Works every time.....

Yes my BIGGEST mistake when trying to cure my constipation is only ADDING more fiber without taking the BAD things out of my diet like fast food and breads. Please listen to this if you truly want to stop suffering!

I've cut out garlic, onions, Grains and dairy and it's literally changed my life for the good! I've struggled with constipation off and on for 20 years and for the first time I can poop normally! I've also added chickpeas and have limited my red meat intake and I eat small amounts.of other meats. I feel great! And I don't eat large salads cuz too much fiber will constipated me so I have small salads.
