[quote=Anonymous]My mil has constipation issues even though we offer her (and she eats) lots of fiber rich food - oatmeal in the morning and always a veggie side with her meals. She doesn't eat fruits though. Anyway after 4 days without any bm, we gave her a laxative that was prescribed to be used "as needed." Honestly, I want to avoid this experience again because it turned into a huge mess (multiple times yesterday night). We currently buy her orange juice but I am not sure if that is good enough to help keep her regular…maybe some other type of juice? Any ideas to keep her regular but without major blow outs? Help![/quote]
