Apologies in advance for the not-so-pleasant subject of this question...

I've been in P4 now for around 2 months, and I keep consistently getting "stopped up". I've tried Smooth Muve tea and natural (vegetable based) laxatives, but those make me miserable for the whole next day before I get any relief. It's even worse during TOM, however happens at least once a week.

Before HCG, I ate a ton of fruits and vegetables, but I'm really having to stay mostly P3 eating in order to maintain my weight. This is okay with me, however obviously I must not be getting enough fiber. I'm eating 2 fruits a day, and probably around 3 servings of veggies. Any more than that and I seem to gain.

Is there a good non-sugar fiber supplement I can try that maybe will be easier on my tummy than the laxative option?

On a happier note, I've managed to maintain at 1.5lbs above my LDW for the most part. The good comes with some bad.
