Diet
The diet should be modified to include adequate fiber and fluid intake to promote regular, soft, bulky stools. Add high fiber foods to the diet including whole-wheat grains, fresh vegetables, and beans. Additionally, psyllium-containing products such as Metamucil can be used to add bulk to the stools. Try to drink 2 to 3 liters of fluid a day (unless you have a medical condition requiring you to restrict your fluid intake, such kidney or heart disease).
