Nobody's likes being irregular. Even if you get your daily quota of 25 to 30 grams of fiber, stress, traveling, and lack of exercise can cause constipation.
If you have issues with regularity, there are many over-the-counter products that can help, but it's tough to know which one will work, which ones are safe to take regularly, and which ones won't cause annoying side effects.

Nobody likes that full, "something's not right" kinda feeling you get when you're (uh-huh) constipated. The best way to deal with the issue is to prevent blockage in the first place, by:
- Drinking plenty of water, fruit and vegetable juices, and clear soup so you don't get dehydrated.
- Getting daily exercise to keep things moving right along.
- Eating lots of high-fiber foods like beans, whole grain and bran cereals, fruits (like apples and oranges) and vegetables (like asparagus, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and carrots.
Eat the skins of your fruits and veggies whenever possible - that's where the fiber is.
