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