I eat 2 forkfuls of broccoli rabe w/evoo and garlic every night at dinner. If I don't I know it the next morning!

Magnesium oxide!! I bought a bag of the powder form off Amazon after being discharged from the hospital post op, knowing they'd probably give me zofran and pain meds, both of which cause constipation. I take a 1/2 tablespoon of the powder and mix it in my liquid calcium / vitamin D supplement and just drink it. No more problems, ever. Even with all the extra iron I take! Plus this one bag has lasted me since May, and it was cheap.

I used to take 4 colace a day: 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I followed this routine for 4 years.

Once I started nursing my daughter, the problem went away. I assume it was from the increase in fluids I was drinking (I was thirsty ALL the time). Maybe try increasing your fluid intake as well?
