Metamucil every day and magnesium pills. Lots of water and fresh or dried fruits. Mangos, pineapple, apples, anything with bulk. Good luck!🤗

KeikoTgran,
I too had constipation during my treatments. I used and still do to this day Colace which is an over the counter stool softener. I too walk alot which helps things move I believe. I eat Raisen Bran everyday for breakfast and I drink lots of water too. I hope you feel better soon. Kelly

I too had an issue with that. Any stool softener worked fine for me.

I have struggled anyway in that department but the first two month of treatments was the worst. Especially the first month. I did use stool softeners which helped. I would wake up in the middle of the night with severe abdominal cramps so I would get up and continue walking back and forth in the house until the cramps would subside and finally I would be able to go to the bathroom. I do feel for you, it is not fun at all. I think because I have had that problem anyway sometimes that mine might have been made worse by the treatments.
Walking seemed to help me the most and drinking plenty of water....
Hope this helps you.
Gayla :o)
