Problem with Chronic constipation

This makes sense. They know that not only will fiber not work but will add to constipation if not enough water is consumed. And I saw here on this site that it is thought that some people's bodies just do not process the water they drink correctly, that too much goes into the bladder only, not enough into the intestinal tract. (I think this is my case.)

Wow this study and the results are a bit stunning. I've always heard that fiber was a necessary part of the diet. I'm a little concerned about trying this, but I've tried the high fiber route with very little success - meaning I still need miralax and occasionally a stimulant laxative.
Thanks to researchmaven for sharing. And along with Mayo, the Cleveland Clinic has an international reputation for medical excellence.

h8bigbiz -- Regarding too much water being diverted to the bladder, do you find this the case with milk, soups, hot cereals, smoothies and other meals can that be made liquidy? Does their water divert quickly too?
