If you can take bananas it would be the easiest fruit with fibres to ease your problem. Also lots of water and best a glass of warm water before you hit the toilet in the morning.
Wish you all the best.

@howyouknow This is a simple and straightforward "fix" for most people. However, with kidney disease, we need to watch our potassium levels. Bananas have a lot of potassium! And, they are one fruit I really miss a lot, along with oranges.

Hi I have heard of people taking figs ( it's a fruit with plenty of edible seeds) , just take one (large) and two (small ) fresh ones.

During season the figs are sun dried and is available at stores in transparent plastic bags.
