hi Kristen! You are in good company. Mine has gotten much, much better after I adjusted my diet. Also, I take omega 3 oil.

I copied and am pasting what I wrote earlier in a post...

My naturopath told me that pears are really great for this. I had been taking metamucil and gotten some, although not great results. She told me about the different b/t soluble vs. insoluble fibers. Once I cut out most of the soluble fibers from my diet and replaced them with insoluble ones, things got much better.

Here are some links that describe the difference:

hope that helps...it's not fun, is it!

Regularly drinking apricot juice and v8 juice keeps things moving for me. Apricot juice tastes way better than prune juice.
