There are several issues:
1- what do you eat ? (if it's beef it constipates badly).
2- Hi fiber is excellent (I just heard that Papaya fruit is good)
3- I try Cascara Sagrada capsules. 1-3 does for me.
4- I also try Metamucil. It works great.
5- I understand that the positioning of the hip is important. Try using something like Squatty Potty in the restroom. It elevates your legs giving you the right hip positioning.

Also drinking a lot of water like 64 Oz over the course of a day facilitates.

You can try Cascara Sagrada. It is a capsule that usually requires 1-3, depending on severity of C. It works. Just don't get used to it. Fiver is the best answer.
