#1 is diet: First answer is great. Additionally eating "p" fruits -peach, pear, plum, prune, pineapple, papaya, pomegranate, pumpkin, and peas all begin with a "p" and make you poop. There is an herbal tea called smoothe move tea (i did not make that up!) that can help alleviate the symptoms. Chiropractic care, craniosacral and yoga can also help a lot!
