Oatmeal has definitely worked for me. I am still having problems of a different type, but it may have finally nailed down the cause. I'll let you know when I'm positive.
The main reason I wrote is to let you know that mineral oil is always a good solution. I have found it to be pretty effective for me. I was recently in the hospital for caregiver respite and ended up getting a little constipated, which is the exact opposite of the problem I normally have. When I explained to the doctor that I use mineral oil, he was shocked that I use such an old remedy, but quickly prescribed it for me. I was going the next day. Good luck.
