I ate prunes and drank prune juice to help. Plumsmart is actually a tasty prune juice that I didn't mind so much. Also make sure you are active, meaning not sitting around a lot on the couch. Go for walks, even short ones, walk up and down stairs and drink lots of water. Good luck!

I drink water all day and also drink a probitoic yogurt drink in the morning along with eating an Activia yogurt a day. Still doesn't keep me as regular as I used to be but definitely helps!!

I was prescribed collace which is a stool softener. It took about a week to start working and I'm still only having a bowel movement once or twice a week but I feel a lot better

Drink a lot of water if u can I usually only drink water but I can literally drink one one bottle a day and not even finish it lol but I used to force myself to drink an entire bottle in the morning and try to drink as much as I could when I'd eat it helps and my 4 year old has a hard time going also and I mix prune juice and Apple juice and she loves it and it really helps sorry so long
