Raw whole carrots are amazing for their fiber roughage content. Taking Magnesium Oxide ensures one has regular movements however. Obviously, this is irrespective of diet.

For people dealing with extreme constipata:
If devitalized tissue tends to swell, lose potassium and retain sodium, it's quite possible that the impaired constipated intestine is in such state. Avoiding added sodium for a while might provide relief and must help to restore its normal function. Dairy must be fine as long as it isn't salted for this purpose.
Extra potassium and magnesium are usually the solution. Getting enough sodium without seafood will probably provide you both in a good ratio, but sometimes more than what food is able to provide is desirable in some cases. I'm not sure if this works or not, but it's something to consider.
Sodium bicarbonate is known for sending people to do the toilettings, and sodium in the presence of orange's calcium isn't a problem. Therefore chloride must also be involved, if not being the main responsible for drawing sodium to the impaired tissues when potassium and magnesium are missing.

I can vouch for this - I noticed coffee increases my chances to go to the restroom within 30mins if I hadn't already gone in the day.
Is it the caffeine that does this? That is, would decaffeinated coffee give the same result?
How do you manage to take 2 g of calcium in a day?After reducing fiber to well under 5g/day, taking large amounts of calcium has been huge for me, 1500-2000mg/day. Calcium combines with bile and saturated fats in the intestine to create a soap that protects your intestine, makes things move smoothly, and makes it harder for bacteria to grow. It's one of the secrets to achieving the legendary ghost wipe all the time. The problem people run into taking a lot of calcium, though, is constipation. This happens because you don't get enough magnesium in proportion to calcium. I find that, at a minimum, I have to take at least 0.5g magnesium for every 1g calcium, but it's better if I get closer to a 1-to-1 ratio. If your bowels run too fast, then cut back the magnesium and/or don't take it on an empty stomach. Probably in the past, magnesium was more abundant in the soil, so more of it ended up in the foods we eat, so calcium-induced constipation wasn't as much of a problem, and not having invented toilet paper wasn't a problem because of plenty of calcium soap in the intestine if you consumed much calcium (probably also more abundant in the soil). So I supplement magnesium glycinate or citrate according to my calcium intake.
I found this article extremely helpful in learning about some of these things:
