natural remedies/foods to aid constipation

Wondering if anyone can recommend some natural remedies or foods to help with constipation?  Have been suffering with it badly.  Before I was pregnant I found coffee helped really well but I can't really drink it now..... its starting to get pretty uncomfortable.

An apple a day works for me. I have always had slow digestive system so I was especially careful when I got pregnant. Its been 23 weeks today and I haven't had any problem even a single day.

A friend of mine suggested sprinkling a little bit of ground flax seed on food. I haven't tried it yet, but it's worth a shot.
