Parrr, maybe try steel cut or slow cooking oatmeal?  Cook it using a bit more water than directed. But stay away from the instant, microwave packets which are so highly processed and pure sugar that it's not really oatmeal anymore. Also try ripe avocado. You can spread avocado on toast, or in a sandwich in place of butter or mayo. It seems to help ease things along, and it's a good fat. It has fiber, but it is soluble fiber and won't get stuck.

Unfortunately, anything like real oats (for oatmeal) causes constipation regardless of the amount of water used to make it.  Same with baked sweet potatoes.  But unbreaded baked fish opens the flood gates because of the oils in it.  But most foods right now cause constipation.  And regardless of the amount of water I drink helps.
