Irregular!

Any tips on helping with irregularity?  I am active, still working out about 5 days a week.  And I have a healthy diet full of whole grains, fruits, veggies.  I have not been sick but I have been very irregular, and generally uncomfortable.  I asked a pharmacist and they told me that stool softeners and milk of magnesia are safe to take.  Any tips of what has worked for any of you?

Colace
Benefiber or Metamucil in your water.
Drink water like its going out of style.
Leafy veggies and whole grain.
Beans and legumes.
Coffee can help.

Good luck!

I drink lots of water but when it gets too bad i eat a couple prunes. They usually do the trick!

Lurking - coconut water. I had that problem in the beginning, and I tried some coconut water and it scoots things right along.

OMG this is funny because I had this problem for a while and found out in an unpleasant way something that will assist.  Apple Juice.  My mom bought it for me to drink over the holidays since everyone else had egg nog, wine and other alcohols.  LOL I won't go into detail but lets just say the gates opened and I got rid of that problem real fast.  Probably a little too fast, than what is comfortable, so if I ever need to do that again I will only drink a small amount at a time lol.  Again sorry for the TMI, but Apple Juice helped me lol.
