How do I turn constipation off?

[Guest guest]

I seem to go in phases where I am either constipated for days, or I have

diarrhea. I can't seem to figure out what makes the change, but I am

suspecting it is something I am eating (or not eating). Can you guys please

send me a list of food that causes the poop to start flowing again? I have

tried a few things that used to work (pre-op), but after 3 days of no poop I

am feeling pretty bloated and miserable. I don't want to take medicine if I

can find some food to solve the problem. Yes, I am drinking lots of water

too.
