You can buy something called Benefiber or Miralax. Both are 100% natural, they are a fiber supplement. Also, because its getting colder, you might be drinking less water, so drink more water.
And of course eat plenty of leafy green vegetables =)

Avoid laxatives. They are hard on your body, and your bowels may come dependent on them.
Try natural things such as eating plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. Strawberries are an excellent source of fiber, and they taste yummy in the bargain. Drinking 100% fruit juices also help out. Beans are high fiber (though come with gas). Cabbage, broccoli, such as that. All good for you and help get things moving.
If it comes down to needing to buy something to help, try a fiber drink like Metamucil. If that doesn't work, stool softeners. But NOT anything that says laxative on the box!!
