Dan, it becomes quite a problem, when your diet is mostly rice.
But take comfort , there is a great herb blend by" Solaray"
the name is Venous blend SP-32,Aloe- witch Hazel
It is a stool softer , I take two capsules 3 times a day .
Give yourself a little help by having a small fruit salad
in the morning, trust me you will feel alot better
