I'm liking Bob's recommendation, in another post, for dark chocolate. Even if it doesn't help in my case I won't turn down an excuse for some chocolate.. the darker the better...

I teach middle schoolers so can't be running back and forth to the bathroom all day. I am pretty consistently going in the morning when I wake up. This is usually a 10-20 min time. Then again in the pm. The pm time is more variable and I expect it is because of diet.
The biggest issue for me is clustering. This can be problematic when I have early morning meetings. I am thankful to have control back and to be doing as well as I am. Actually thankful to be here period. There are times though when the clustering gets in the way of something (getting some place on time, meals, etc) when I get a little frustrated.

While I believe the senna leaves in nopalina are helpful for ME, I have a tendency towards constipation(nuggets). If that's not an issue, fiber alone is prob helpful no matter what the source is. I was amazed at the difference the first time I used fiber, and have rarely skipped a day since.
