I've heard olive oil will can help with constipation, but I don't know how I would incorporate it in my current diet. I'm 8 months pregnant and here is what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast: Fiber One cereal mixed w/ some All Bran Yogurt Bites cereal w/ 1 cup milk and 1 glass of orange juice with 2 heaping teaspoons of Benefiber mixed in (this is more or less what I eat EVERY morning except sometimes I'll have Kellogg's Shredded Wheat cereal instead of the All Bran)
LUNCH: Homemade chicken soup which consisted of very little shredded chicken, white rice (I usually use brown whole grain rice, but it wasn't on hand yesterday), lots of baby carrots, some potatoes and some shredded cabbage. I had a big glass of water w/ 2 heaping teaspoons of Benefiber.
DINNER: 2 homemade Potato Pancakes topped w/ homemade salsa and a side salad of shredded leaf lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes (no dressing on top). Big glass of water w/ 2 more heaping teaspoons of Benefiber & I drink 112 oz water daily.
