    Try metamucal(sp). I had it badly with my son. It worked for me! You add it to water, they have diff flavors, its not bad.

    @mommyof3tobe could I use benefiber instead of that. I know we have some here for my mom.

    @lae3 I have been taking fiber pills from walmart for about a week and hasn't phased me. I'm going to dr tomorrow and see if she can help me.

    I have always had problems with going poop, even before baby, but now its just unbearable.

    They have so many flavors of fiber one bars and I even bought new fiber one brownies yesterday. They were so good. I also get fiber one yogurt and cereal.

    Luckily I haven't had a problem in that department and it's because I drink water all day and make sure any bread or cereal I eat has 3% fiber or more. Remember to eat fruit! Try eating pistachios. :)

    Vegetables, even some bread, they have these bars called fiber one that are delicious and have tons of fiber in them

    Well idk about benefiber, I'd call doc n ask!! I think its similar though but call to make sure. The metamucil is what my doc reccommended for me. Hope u feel better!
