quadwilly	I don't know if you would have it around the house. But as to a Natural Laxative. If you have a constant problem. You would want to get on a routine of eating something like Actavia yogurt and take stool softeners each morning. If you have only bouts of constipation get an herb called "cascara Sagrada" at the health food store. Take this to clean yourself out and drink plenty of water, so the stool doesn't dry out and make it hard to come out and painful. It can be very uncomfortable to be chronically constipated and can lead to serious complications if left untreated like compaction.... A person should have at least one bowel moment per day, if you don't you are not regular....if you get on a routine, your body will adj. and you will have a reg. movement about the same time each day. One thing of course is Prunes and some such natural fruit... but, if you are not used to eating these kinds of fruits, they will make you VeRY gassy and you will feel bloated on top of the other problem... so you need move out first and then, to keep reg. you can eat these fruits if this is your choice of preventative measures.. Hope this helps.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cyndee	Try some Fiber you cant get too much. You can eat foods with it in it or get a suppliment. There is this stuff called Benefiber its colorless and tasteless, you can pretty much add it to any food or drink. I would just put that in everything you eat or drink for the next couple of days. If that doesnt work then I would concider going to the doctor. They can prescribe you a good medication. Some can irritate your bowels, Colace is a really good laxative. You can usually buy it at your local drug store. Drink LOTS of water, go excercizing even if it is just a walk, when you sleep try laying on your left side that is the way your bowels drain. Also Epsom salt is a good one. It tastes nasty but you usually have a BM within a day at LEAST. Other than that I dont know what to tell you. Good luck tho! Happy Pooping. :) C.

Darkrose	Prunes which is what they suggest after surgery to help with constipation, black coffee can help. If you have Epsom salt, a glass of that dissolved in water will do it too. Or if your not opposed to it, a good enema. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥	I ate 5 or 6 dried plums (prunes) once and went #2 like 3 times thru the day lol After that I only eat a couple at a time. Walking around a lot, jogging, running, working out.. all that helps get it moving thru your system. Fiber helps! Buy some 'Fiber One' cereal... it has half the fiber you need in a day. I had your problem last week, ate that 2 mornings in a row, and the problem was solved. Get the "Honey Clusters" one... its pretty good if you dont mind whole grain flakes =) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kaelisj	I found this book really useful and now have the magic daily bowel movement after years of suffering and hours spent on the toilet and massive headaches when I couldn't go... http://smartguides.ws/get-rid-of-constipation/ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
