A member asked:
What are some good fruits and veggies to help clear the bowels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber: Any high-fiber fruits & veggies (plus plenty of water to keep things soft) will do the trick; routine consumption of these foods will keep things regular. Raspberries, pears, apples, cooked split peas/lentils/black beans/ lima beans, artichokes, peas, broccoli are among the highest fiber foods.

I have a bowel movement every day but it's always dry and grainy like sheep stool. I've tried everything: fiber, water, fruits, veggies, nothing work!
Have been eating meat, cheese, veggies, nuts for 6 weeks; no fruit, added sugar, or bread. Had knee replacement surgery several days ago. Taking meds. Drinking lots of water. No bowel movement for over a week, no pain either. Is this a problem? Thanks!
