I use Fiber Choice wafers which have inulin for soluble fiber. You don't have to drink water when you chew them up. Not the greatest, but they work. I also eat a couple of Metamucil wafer-type fiber that is cinnamon flavored and it needs a glass of water (insoluble fiber). These are my mainstays and I try to get as much fruit and veggies and whole wheat as I can each day.
Stool softeners are gross. Laxatives aren't good for you either. Fiber is the best way to do it, along with plenty of water. Good luck, Erica. The constipation is horribly uncomfortable.
