Constipation, even when induced by medication, can be helped by the use of probiotics. 1/2 teaspoon of UAS Labs DDS acidophilus mixed with 1 teaspoon of powdered pectin in 4 ounces of water and 4 ounces of pure aloe juice one time a day can help restore bowel function without causing irritation to the gut. The DDS provides normal gut flora. The pectin is a soft, soluble fiber (citrucel works too) and the aloe soothes and heals irritated mucous membranes. The extra water is necessary because the fiber bulks on fluid. If fiber is taken in too great a quantity without enough fluid the fiber can cause constipation.
