2 tablets of 500mg magnesium every evening ( 3 depending on weight) per my GI doctor keeps me regular. Otherwise I can be constipated for weeks. Hope this helps you.

Fiber capsules 100% natural psyllium husk fiber recommended by my Gastroentologist. I buy Kirkland Cosco brand because it’s cheaper

Take one in the am and one in pm. Increase your fiber also in more veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts more greens!

I second psyllium husk (Metamucil). It comes in pill form and can have positive effects on your blood sugar and cholesterol as well.

@unknown4 what about eating psyllium buds?

I take Meta mucil capsules. They say to take 2 to 5 up to 4 times a day but I find 2 twice a day is just fine. It's made from Psyllium husk.

Walmart has chewable fiber pills. My husband takes them all the time. They sound gross but they’re actually not bad and they work quickly.

I take a probiotic and prebiotic daily. I ordered it from Amazon.

@chronic63005 I’ve never understood what those are. I take a multi vitamin daily. What does the probiotic and prebiotic do differently?  
by (1.3k points)
Chris, it helps with gut health. Google gut health and candida overgrowth. This is why I started taking them.

@chronic63005 thanks! I’ll check it out.

I hate fiber drinks too, but if I need fiber, I will straight up just eat a handful of iceberg lettuce (1 cup) and drink a lot of water. Always works in like an hour.
