Water-Water-Water=Regularity?

[Guest guest]

Water-water-water!

That's all I hear. I'm trying to drink as much water as possible.

But, problem is the taste of water makes me cringe. Even filtered

and bottled water. But, I'll keep trying.

Here's the problem: I'm getting into CRON very gradually. I'm

suffering from almost constant CONSTIPATION. All I hear is my

problem is a water inbalance. So, I'm (pardon the pun) sucking it up

and drinking as much of the stuff as I can stand. But, back to the

constipation thing. Is anyone else suffering this? It's an

embarrasing thing to admit. But, you know...I figure at this point I

need to 'out' myself in that respect.

I'm taking ExLax probably 3 times per week. The water and Metamucil

the rest of the time. If I don't " medicate " myself, I can literally

go 3-5 days without a bowel movement. Man, you talk about being

miserable and uncomfortable. Horrible feeling.

Another point is this: I hardly ever eat vegetables. I'm trying to

correct this with the gradual immersion into CRON. Could that be the

source of fiber I am missing?

Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
