Members dealing with constipation shared a wide variety of strategies that have worked for them, from foods like watermelon, red grapes, figs, apricots, prunes, and flax meal to supplements like MiraLax, Magnesium Citrate, Metamucil, and Colace prescribed by a doctor. Several members found that glycerin suppositories, staying hydrated with decaf tea or juice, and eating a less dry diet with fruit and yogurt also made a real difference. A recurring theme was that no single solution works for everyone, so trying different options and checking with a doctor when needed is the best approach.

Eat three watermelons a week and 2 lbs of red grapes and it seems to be all the fiber and water needed to be less Constipated

No, I don't have that problem-I eat at least 2 servings of both fruit and vegetables every day. Right now, it's stone fruit and fig seasons, I esp. eat apricots and figs-they do help. Cherry season is over, too expensive. Try getting some of those fruits, maybe they can help.
