Hi all,
I suffered years of severe, chronic constipation that no pills or powders seemed to help. No matter how many vegetables or fruit I ate or how much water I drank, nothing worked until I discovered Kellogg's All-Bran with Extra Fiber, which has 13 grams of fiber in a half cup.
I have an air-tight container in which I mix together Kellogg's All-Bran with at least a couple other cereals such as Grape Nuts, Total, Granola, Raisin Bran always keeping All-Bran the main cereal in the mixture. Always trying new cereals and mixing them in keeps it from getting boring eating cereal almost every day.
Microwaving a bowl of cereal for 20-30 seconds really brings out the flavor. Microwaving much longer than 30 seconds makes the cereal turn mushy.
On a rare occasion I'll take a quarter of a tab of chocolate Ex-Lax. That will usually do the trick without cramping me up too bad.
I hope this can be of help to someone. Barbara
