Get regular: It is imperative that you have soft regular bowel movements. The diet high in fiber dark green leafy vegetables such as kale, foods like beets, and prunes will help. Over the counter stool softeners or gentle laxatives like Miralax are generally safe can get you on the right track. Daily exercise and lots of water. New constipation with no changes in diet and activity needs further evaluation
