corn doesn't constipate... but popcorn doesn't have that much fiber either, so they're both wrong!

Snacking is habitual, you like the act of munching.  I have the same addiction!  I try to stick to stuff that I can pop in one at a time but that's lo-cal, like grapes, almonds (nuts are good, almonds are best), blueberries (all small berries that you can munch), and cereal in a bag, like Cheerios.  Takes you back to your childhood days :)  All are low calories and really good for you, and give you the satisfaction of eating lots without getting all the fat.

In opposition to above, You DO NOT stop taking medications that can cause constipation.  What about the other reason, That is just nonsense.  Now to take care of your constipation. Drink lots of water and eat foods that are high in fiber or use a fiber substitute like Benefiber or Metamucil. Since you have taken a laxative, you may want to try taking a laxative that includes a stimulant like Ducolax or Sennakot.  These will help stimulate your colon to push it out.  Also, i'm sure you have probably been straining to defecate since you have been stopped up for a week.  You may want to try using a glycerin suppository as well as these ohter things to help lubricate your sphincter when your poo is on its way out.  This way you will lessen the chance of causing hemorrhoids and it wont hurt so bad.  Good luck, And drink lots of water :-)

Soluble fiber is very good at lowering cholesterol as it binds the bile (a digestive agent) & causes you to excrete it. The body makes more bile (to replace that which was lost - if it wasn't lost, the body tends to recycle bile) from cholesterol. You'll find soluble fiber in foods such as apples, oranges & oatmeal. \n\nInsoluble fiber is also good for your heart, so eat high fiber foods like beans & veggies. Sodium does not affect your cholesterol level, but it can affect heart health so it's best to keep it to a minimum. \n\nA little exercize, such as walking for 30 minutes 3 times a week, will also work wonders. If you eat a Whte bread, try to switch to something like Nature's Own White Wheat, which has lots of fibre. Try & drink fat-free or 1% milk instead of whole milk. A lot of little life-style changes will go a long way.

NO WHITE FLOUR products.  Eat things with fiber... popcorn, apples, etc.  and drink a lot of water.  \n\nWhite flour constipates as do many medications including some antibiotics and pain meds.\n\nMineral Oil can be taken orally and it helps.\n\nSue

It can help.  Generally high fiber foods will keep you fuller longer than low fiber foods.  Oatmeal should keep you satified longer than Captain Crunch, for example.  So if you substitute a higher fiber food for a low fiber food, you should lose weight.  But if you just add fiber in addition to what you regularly eat, you probably won't lose weight.  The addition of fiber should result in a reduction of calories in order to lose weight.

Cellulose is not digested by the human intestine. It is fiber. It provides bulk and helps push the mass through.

Try a whole grain oat cereal. That and just plain oatmeal.\n\nIf your need is more fiber, try psyllium.

Those diet pills have caffine in them. you shouldn't take them after dinner or I'd say after lunch. \n\nI don't take them at all.\n\nEat a lot of fiber, fiber makes you feel full. Your body wants to eat, and your brain isn't telling what your body what it should eat. It'll just eat until it's full\n\nWhat your body really wants is fiber and protein.\n\nLess fat too\n\nAnd it's spelled lose.

My favorite bedtime snack are the Quacker chocolate chip Quakes. They are good for you and satisfy a sweet tooth. Just don't eat the whole bag like my husband does. I wouldn't really recomend fruit because of the sugars, but veggies are great especially for fiber. Hope your diet goes well....

What you need is the best popcorn.  No one goes to the movie to watch a film.  They go to a movie to eat popcorn and drink soda.

Fiber in your diet is very beneficial to a persons health for many reasons.  It will help in moving food through the colon faster, to help protect against constipation, spastic colon, colon cancer and hemorrhoids.  Get a wide variety of fiber though through a varied diet.  Gum and pectin fiber decrease fat absorption and lower cholesterol levels.  They also slow sugar absorption which is helpful to diabetics.  Yeah it's good for you and a cookie after a high fiber meal probably isn't as bad for you as if you hadn't had the fiber.
