Have you tried psyllium fiber? The kind that is unprocessed available in the
big cannisters as "Colon Cleanser". Work up to 2 tblspns in a glass of water
once or twice a day. This works extremely well. I have been taking it for 12
years every day before I go to bed.

Also, of course, there is fruit. A piece of fruit, anything other than an
apple, will generally help. You probably don't want the fruit because of the
sugar, but fruit is paleo.
