I take oxycodone as well. What I do to not be constipated is eat foods high in fiber, such as raisin bran or fresh fruits like apples. Taking laxatives isn't good for you as you will become dependent on them for BM's. The other thing that I do is drink lots of water everyday. I average drinking about 5 - 6 bottles of water a day with Crystal Light.

I eat at least 1 bowl of frosted mini wheats daily. No lie, it works like a charm for me. Nothing else has helped.

Lightbulb Ducolax (may be misspelled)

hihi ducolax, works, um, I drink activia everyday too. The best is an enema (i know, it's gross), but it works too, although you'd probably want to make that your last resort. Ask your dr for constipation pills, although a friend of mine LOVES her OC's because she's got IBS and it keeps hers regular! LOL
