Colace stool softener works for me you can take up to 300 mg that's what my high risk on told me to do..

Plus go for a walk :)

2kiwifruit with the skin on (I know!! Lol), lots of prunes and a cup of coffee usually does it for me within the day. Good luck!

Lots of fibre - brown bread, rice and pasta, fruit and vegetables, walking or other gentle exercise, as the movement of your legs stimulates your bowels into action.    When you are trying to go - don't strain too hard or you risk decveloping haemmorhoids - but rock your pelvis back and forth gently to help your bowels push out :)  - that's what we encouraged our patients to do in the hospital x

Milk of magnesia works miracles. And metimucil up to.3 times a. Day.
