Re: Constipation and fiber question...       01/29/03 05:16 PM Edit Reply Quote sek Reged: 01/29/03 Posts: 63 Loc: Virginia, USA I had the same problem. I wrote to Heather several times because I was afraid to keep eating white bread and rice as my bowels just kept filling up and filling up with no relief. It took a few weeks at first but then I finally started having regular bm's. I still never felt fully "empty" but it was better than complete constipation. Then I tried doubling the amount of water I was drinking and I think that was key. The fiber is only effective when combined with water. I have also recently had a lot of success with Paxil. I am currently having two bm's every day and they are always perfectly formed. I am hoping that I can continue on this for a few more months, maybe a year, while I get firmly set in the habits of this diet and exercise, then I'll be able to make a fresh start without the medicine.
