Fiber : Treatment goal is once daily soft stool, like peanut butter texture. Continue water and ensure high fiber intake. Fiber con is useful. Avoid fast food chains and fatty food. Minimize laxative use, but MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) long term is better if laxative is required. If problem persists then see family doctor.
