Fiber & water: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. You may increase your intake of fiber foods and drink more water. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
