Increase fiber: You should be assessed by physician to be sure you have nothing else going on in your GI tract. However, increasing both fiber and water intake may help you a great deal. Hope that helps!

Constipation: Try more fruits e.g. Plums, prunes, prune juice, nectarines, figs, papaya everyday. Drink lots of water.
