Right on, Tabby. I was taking 40 grams of fiber with not enough water=still constipated. Water is good for many things--not just the digestive system--skin, urinary tract, etc. Too much fiber and I don't agree either.
I wonder what it is about childbirth that sometimes causes an AF. I know hemroids and constipation are very common during pregnacy.

Yeah, I used to totally od on the fiber! I got about 60 grams a day at times and I had so much poop!!! Now I just try to get around 25 grams like Tabby and it cuts down on the volume.

I think your diet sounds fi ne. I would estimate it to be 25 grams of fiber so you are right on with what you need.

Do you go once a day?

I am a vegan and I am surprised and alarmed at times at how much poop I produce. I can usually get it out in one shot but because of the high fiber content there is alot. I have had to cut down a bit on my fiber because sometimes I would have leftovers and just passing that must poop would make my bum more sore!
