Q. My husband has difficulty with his daily bowel movement. We eat dark bread and yogurt every day. He drinks milk but it does not seem to be helping the constipation. He is bloated and feels uncomfortable. Any help would be appreciated.
A. The milk he is drinking might be part of the problem. Many people who are lactose intolerant develop diarrhea, but some experience bloating alone.
Increasing fiber and fluid is a good first step. Brown bread may not have enough fiber to do the job. Try “power pudding” instead: Mix one cup coarse bran, one cup applesauce and three quarters cup prune juice. Refrigerate and then take one to two tablespoons daily and wash it down with lots of water.

A friend at work has real problems and has tried everything but will now try Power Pudding.
I have the same problem! Thank you so much for the yummy and helpful pudding! Keep up the good work!
I tried a number of things and couldn't find anything natural that I was happy taking every day. Tried Miralax and had painful bloating so I tried Power Pudding - amazing stuff. I made a different recipe that's a little more tasty:
½ cup prune juice
½ cup applesauce
½ cup wheat bran flakes
½ cup whipped topping
½ cup prunes (canned, stewed prunes)
Blend all ingredients, cover, and refrigerate up to one week. Take ¼ cup daily with breakfast.
