Fiber/fluids: Start with playing detective and monitor your diet for any recent changes. You want to increase fluids and fiber in your diet. Some over the counter laxatives or stool softeners could be tried at first, but if this is a chronic issue and persists, than you need to see a GI dr. For an evaluation of your constipation. Good luck.
