Colonoscopy: See a surgeon or GI for a colonoscopy to rule out a stricture or tumor that could be obstructing you (less likely). Then ... Foods high in fat tend to constipate you. Foods high in fiber favor looser stools. Fruits vegetable, whole grains are excellent sources of fiber. Also, fiber only works if u are well hydrated. Drink plenty of non-caffinated, non-alcoholic fluids to keep stools soft.
