Exercise/movement, keeps the plumbin' hummin'. Seriously- have not had constipation since surgery until last week, when I hadn't been to the gym for a week. Took a double walk around the mall and it all started moving.
You MUST plan ahead for protein and water. Don't leave the house thinking you'll grab something somewhere- it never happens that way. Even if it is a bottle of water and a bag of peanuts that get warm in the car when you keep them there, it's better than realizing your fingertips are wrinkled 'cuz the only fluid you've had as of 11 am is the water you brushed with, and the only protein was...well, was nuthin'! What were you thinking! At least if there is a protein bar or bag of peanuts in the glove compartment...
