Newbie myself but I take an osmotic laxative and a fair few glasses of water to soften things up, plus I use a product (called Lepicol over here) which contains pyslium husks, and I eat plenty of veg to ease the passage!
Not sure of the name of the osmotic laxative (this works by drawing moisture into your stools whilst in your bowels which is why extra water is a good idea) in your area but I think its called Movicol. One of the experienced people on here will be able to give you the name. Also there is a sticky topic on the site which gives you a lot of info about this problem.
