Coffee

In addition to eating a fair amount of vegetables, I take Metamucil (or the equivalent store brand), 3 to 4 times a week. Keeps me as clean as a whistle.

Go for the CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart brands. They are just as good as Metamucil, and cost a lot less.

Drink a lot of water

I dig up a dead cat to make soup.

If you eat vegetables, legumes and whole grains like you are supposed to you will not have this problem.

I take 1 Loperamide every morning. They are cheap and not prescription.

At least 7 inches, three times per week.

For me it’s about trying to slow things down and solidify them. (IBS-D, lucky me,). Like poster above, I take fiber, about 15-20 generic psyllium caplets per day.

Oatmeal (whole oats, not instant) in the morning and two dates during the day or evening.

Strong French roast coffee has me dropping the kids off at the pool every morning!

Kashi Go Lean does it for me, I was buying fiber supplements which wasn't working all that great for me, when I found this cereal which has 50% of your daily requirement fiber. Going has always been a problem for me regardless of what I ate but no longer. Now I don't have to buy supplements and I think this cereal tastes great.

Big bowl of steel-cut oatmeal every morning - works like a charm!

Oatmeal fan here, 3 X's a week. I alternate between steel-cut and rolled. Always with prunes, apples and whatever other fruit I have on hand, either fresh or dried.
