The following foods are good sources of fiber: \n\nWhole grains (bran has the highest fiber content); this includes breads and cereals, whole-grain pastas, and brown rice\n\nNuts and seeds\n\nLegumes (such as dried peas, beans, lentils)\n\nFruits\n\nVegetables\n\nA dietary supplement of fiber products such as Citrucel or Metamucil, which are mixed with water and provide about 4 to 6 grams of fiber in each 8-ounce glass\nWhy should I eat more fiber?\nFoods that are high in fiber can help in the treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Dietary fiber may also help lower your cholesterol, and reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer.\n\n\nHow can I get more fiber in my diet?\nTry the following ideas to increase the fiber in your diet:\n\nEat at least 4 1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day. Fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber include:\n\nApples\nBerries\nFigs Oranges\nPears\nPrunes Broccoli\nBrussels sprouts\nCarrots Cauliflower\nGreen peas\nBeans \n\nReplace white bread with whole-grain breads and cereals. Eat brown rice instead of white rice. Eat more of the following foods:\n\nBran muffins\nBrown rice Oatmeal\nPopcorn Multiple-grain cereals, cooked or dry\n100% Whole-wheat bread \n\nEat bran cereal for breakfast. Check labels on the packages for the amounts of dietary fiber in each brand. Some cereals may have less fiber than you think.\n\nAdd 1/4 cup of wheat bran (miller's bran) to foods such as cooked cereal or applesauce or meat loaf.\n\nEat cooked beans each week\nStart slowly.\nWhen you first add fiber to your diet you may notice bloating, cramping or gas. But you can prevent this by making small changes in your diet over a period of time. Start with one of the changes listed above, then wait several days to a week before making another. If one change doesn't seem to work for you, try a different one.\n\nBe sure to drink more fluids when you increase the amount of fiber you eat. Liquids help your body digest fiber better. Try to drink 8 glasses of no- or low-calorie beverages, such as water, unsweetened tea or diet soda each day.

DO NOT EAT BANANAS!!!!\nBananas increase constipation. Eat fruits such as apples and pears, with the skin. Raspberries and flax seed are excellent sources of fiber. Any bran cereal. Raisin Bran is great. Try to drink 8 glasses or more of water a day.\nOh and Triscuit crackers- they are pure whole wheat. All fiber.

Constipation?\nYou may want to urgently get more fiber in your diet, eating spelt flour pancakes often, cut them into noodles for soups, fill them with jam or vegetables, fruit or left overs. Chew well.\n\nWhite flour items may make you constipated. Avoid.\n\nMore fiber also makes necessary to drink more. Purified water, green tea, herbal teas.\n\nConstipation has been helped often in one session by Color*MedicineTM, Dinshah color Yellow! Also Natrum Sulphuricum, a homeopathic Tissue Salt.\n\nBloating? Dinshah color Orange and/or Magnesium Phosphoricum (Tissue Salt, health food store).\n\nVegetables have a lot of fiber, too, so have fruit. Lentils, beans, too, and prunes. Eat some daily.\n\nLess fiber: meat and animal products in general. Reduce or eat with fiber foods only.\n\nYou may also want to get some enzymes to help digestion.\n\nRobert Gray composed a colon bacteria food, for the bacteria to help digest our food and make Vitamin B12 for us. You may ask in your health food store, brand something with horizon. Tastes great with Avocados.\n\nSpeedy recovery and staying "current."\nCordially, India.Magica

Wow, my daughter was just dignosed w/this.  I can tell you they us to give her 15-20 more fiber.  And BROWN rice is a good source of fiber.  And they gave her this medicine called "Miralax" its a powder that we mix w/8oz of her favorite drink.  Mostly apple juice.  Anyway its not to bad in price wise if you have insurace and if you don't have insurace I think it does some in generic.  Anyway if you are wanting some more tips you can email me.  I think I've got lots of knowlege in the past 2 months only b/c of my daughter.  Hope this helps you out.

I have the same problem and i have found that soluble fiber works the best.  The only place that I have been able to find it is online at helpforibs.com, you can order it from there.  Also there are some recipes and other things that might be helpful if you haven't already seen the website.

High fiber cereal with skim milk and a piece of fruit.  The fiber will help you feel full until your next meal or snack.

Here is a good one:  http://www.wehealny.org/healthinfo/dietaryfiber/fibercontentchart.html\n\nAnother list here, but not as complete as the one above:  http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs01.htm\n\nThis site has a way you can search by the type of food (for anything you might find missing on the charts I guess!):  http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

This has helped me and I got the advice from a colon doctor who follows his own advice:\n\nEvery morning eat a bowl of "All Bran" or "Fiber One" cereal, with some fruit or dried fruit (for taste).  (the above cereals have the highest, by far, of fiber content per serving)\n\nAfter a few weeks of doing this, I became "more regular" and did not have to eat it every day.

Eat lots of good fiber based things like oatmeal, whole wheat stuff and whole grains as well as fruit, raw preferred.  And lots of bran.
