What works for you?

What usually helps for me is drinking lots of water, consistent activity (usually walking/running/HIIT), fiber through veggies/fruit/supplementation, and eating/drinking certain foods like coffee/protein shakes 🤣🤣

Psyllium husk 10g + 2 warm glasses of water

I had IBS-D & was hesitant to begin a GLP-1 because I knew that it could cause more diarrhea. I have added SunFiber each day and no problems. It's also for a low FOD MAP DIET. I can leave the house without worrying about making it to the bathroom while out. I know this question wasn't for my comment but beginning a GLP-1 I did have some constipation which SunFiber corrected.

Mirafast chews. One daily 😂

I aim for a gallon of water a day, although some days I fall short! 😊 Staying hydrated really helps, and MagO7 has been awesome to have on hand for those occasional times when things get backed up. I don’t need it often, but it’s worked great for me! Two or three pills on an empty stomach before bed work wonders.

I wish I knew what what wrong with my body or had a tip to share. I’ve never once had an issue with constipation. I’ve always been on the Fast and Furious side

Mag07

I don’t have an issue with that as I get enough fiber and keep well hydrated but have son that does so we keep prune juice and prunes on hand
- Belle member
Lots of water! Fresh fruits, whole grains,veggies, and fiber gummies. works perfectly for me🙂
- Belle member
@member fast and furious 🤣 that's a good one. 🤣I like that!! Omg I can't stop laughing !! I'm on that route now, after being careful with all that protein powder and shakes.

@member my mom was a true believer in prunes. Ugh I can't stomach those things
- Belle member
I didn’t have constipation issues until I reached 10 mg. 🤔 I take magnesium citrate gummies and eat 2–3 prunes every day. The day after my shot, I also have a serving of prune juice. This routine has been working well for me! I drink about 80 oz of water daily and walk about a mile. 😊❤️

@member I agree with you Tracy 💯💯
- Belle member
MiraLAX daily or every other day.
- Belle member
@member maybe that will help me. Im treading away from the protein shake to more real foods
- Belle member
I drink about a gallon of water, eat 40-50 g of fiber, walk 6ish miles. I love prunes, so I eat 6 a day as a sweet treat. If I need a little help metamucil is my go-to. If I need more than a little help I mix 17g of miralax into prune juice. When I'm traveling nothing really helps 🤷
- Belle member
@member Yes! Those protein shakes can't beat real foods. So way to go on that! 👍
- Belle member
Shoot for 25g fiber daily, magnesium citrate (100mg tablet in evening and 100 mg at bedtime). 1- capsule Biocidin Botanicals “Motility Assist” at bedtime No constipation problems.

Aside from drinking water and eating fibrous foods, I take fiber gummies, Hiya constipation tablets and detox and debloat supplements.
- Belle member
I drink lots of water. I have a few prunes every other day. I also like to walk after my evening meal.
- Belle member
Prior to GLP1 I had IBS-D. Now I have zero issues. 👍
- Belle member
@member luckily can and eat plums often but after seeing my son go through the surgery to make a rectum opening and his poor bum as a 8 month old we have made sure he never suffers with constipation as that take down of his colostomy was the hardest thing I encountered in life. Wish that on no one yet we lived though it and now I can help control is poo habits as I never want to deal with those bags again
- Belle member
I honestly haven't found a way to not be constipated. I went to the ER last night because of it. I have to get better with my fiber and movement.
- Belle member
@member oh wow I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine. Yes! you would definitely be on top of things. 💕
- Belle member
Chia seeds in my yogurt and blueberries have been the key for me.
- Belle member
@member he had 3 surgeries in the first 9 days of his life. He had 3 more before he was 9 months old. So glad those days are gone
