    As far as fiber is concerned, I can't really weigh in because I've never tried taking fiber to help with regularity. However, when I was a child/teenager, I had severe constipation issues, so much so that I ended up in the emergency room as a small child.

    What I do when I realize I'm getting or I am constipated is take two tablespoons of mineral oil [maybe three if it's really serious] and I head to the bathroom quickly.

    Personally [I don't know why], but eating scrambled eggs from Denny's fixes it within 20 minutes.

    Prune juice. Yup. You will be headed for the bathroom for sure. Also, keeping hydrated helps.

    Take metamucile. Best stuff ever. It tastes just like orange juice and works beautifully.
