Oatmeal

+1 on the oatmeal. Figure out whether she likes it in muffin form, warm as porridge, crunchy as toasted oat granola, baked into a high fiber loaf with whole wheat, etc.
A soft fruit like cantaloupe or other melon will add fiber and water to her diet. Try making low sugar (or watered fruit juice) popsicles; she may not drink but she might see the ice pop as a treat.
Straws encourage more drinking than cups.
Finally, individually wrapped prunes might do the trick naturally, and they're sweet. She might like them.

Good idea on the oatmeal. Thank you. She used to eat it a lot and then just got out of that habit. I need to reintroduce her to it.
I've tried the straw trick with drinking more water. She still just takes sips and absolutely does not drink enough throughout the day. I'm working on making a deal with her about drinking her entire water bottle each day and a positive reward for doing such.
Prunes are a great idea. Will try. Did prune juice in the past with not much luck
We do miralax when things get bad, but I so desperately want to not even have to do that. Our pediatrician is a genius and tells us exactly how to use it for how long.
She likes kiwi. She eats apples with skin on.
She loves popcorn!
Thsnks everyone! Great suggestions!
