Thank you for the info. It is something I may have to consider; I suspect I may also have a predisposition for constipation considering how irregular I was even in my early teens and that I was never heavy set or a huge over-eater... I don't know what is normal but those things hint that I may have this problem more than others... although I also wonder if people who are more regular aren't that way b/c they drink coffee or caffinated tea. (I'm a non coffee/tea drinker). I tried caffinated tea once and it tore me up! Anyway, it's good to hear other points of view.
