Fiber and water: Diet and exercise make a big difference here. Make sure you are drinking lots of water and eating a high fiber diet to keep your bowels moving regularly. Take a fiber supplement if needed. Also take probiotics once a day. If the symptoms persist, see your Dr as you may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
