How much water are you drinking?
How much fat are you taking in - nuts, avocados, oils, etc?
How much activity/exercise are you getting?

Increase your water, increase your activity (go for a walk, for example), and decrease your fat consumption if it's high, and see if that helps. If you still feel constipated, prunes are great, as would be freshly juiced apple juice. So try more water and activity if you can, and eat some dried prunes (or other prunes if you like other types).
