Kendra	I hate it when that happens. :( Drink lots of water, eat high-fiber foods like oatmeal, and if necessary you can use something like Miralax to soften your stools and help you stay regular. You just stir it in your drink or soup or yogurt or whatever, it's tasteless. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Masshole	Olive oil. It has mild laxative effects and will not cause any type of allergies. It is also great as a skin/scalp moisturizer in addition to all of the benefits it provides when consumed orally.
