Sounds like you have a lot of good suggestions. . I also have chronic constipation and I will swear by the All Bran. . and lots of water - but think the other suggestions are good too. . drink lots of water, flax seed, prunes, coconut, etc. . My 22y/o has the same prob - she also has celiac disease -she is supposed to eat a special diet. . good luck with your 17y/o!
