Hi - I think the others are right and you've lost the laxative effect of the cigarettes (which are a really powerful digestive tract irritant and stimulant).

Stick to the exercise - it's great for constipation and it will also work your GI muscles so your bowel function becomes more normal. Add in a LOT of water during the day.

And definitely start a soluble fiber supplement. This works for both D and C, by the way, because it simply normalizes bowel function. Check the forum home page for the link to soluble fiber info.

Best,
Heather
