A 1/2 cup of papaya has about 75 grams of carbs. Apples, about 8 grams of carbs per 1/2 cup would probably be better.

A serving of Benifiber has only 4 grams of carbs.

All Fiber is carbs. All sugars are carbs, but not all carbs are sugar. Fiber is neither digestible nor absorbable, but sugar (of course) is.

​One would have to calculate net carbs to see if it's ok:

Fiber carbs - sugar carbs = net carbs

This is what my nutritionist taught me.

Miralax is my friend. I too had that horrid poop experience. I wanted to die. Child birth was easier, I had an epidural lol. I used Miralax for about 2.5 weeks, then transitioned to a Probiotic Vitamin. It keeps me regular. If I get too loose, I go every other day with the probiotic .

My Dr told me try eating an apple or papaya for Breakfast every morning. Very high in fiber. Gonna start this tomorrow.

I have an granny smith apple a day. Other than the first couple of weeks, I haven't had an issue. I just eat them because I need the other health benefits from it, but I hope it helps you with your Constipation.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, ground flax seed is really great for constipation. I used 1-2T in my shakes, cottage cheese, wherever. Works as good as Metamucil but tastes much better and it has Omega 3s.

My life revolves around poop ????

I wish I could say it gets better, but if I don't watch my out-go religiously, I pay for it for an entire week.

I take Miralax and stool softeners daily. Have been to the ER three times since surgery with this problem. All three times, thought I had a bowel obstruction - I did not. The last time was just a couple of weeks ago. I was told then, I will probably have to take Miralax and stool softeners for life. Oh, well.

A Fiber Gummy once per day has been all I need to keep going, and all the volume I can handle.

Ya mine was a three day ordeal of trying to get anything out. It finally did and I had to brace myself. Honestly I felt ripped open LOL
