MAMA	Why are you this constipated? You should drink your 8 glasses of water daily and eat fruit. Try prunes and mangos. You could drink the laxative Citrasin, but only once to get rid of all the crap you have accumulated. This is used when doctors are going to do a study and they need you to have your colon empty. Don't take laxatives regularly that will mess up your bowels and then you will always be constipated. Work on your diet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Oh! The Humanity!	I don't like to talk about this either but after a week, I think it's time for a doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lily	try about 1/3 cup regular kitchen cooking oil, just down it real quick, my husband had a friend who had the same problem and my husband gave him oil and he was running to the bathroom very quickly. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to go to the doctor for an enema..... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Wilcam	......I have had this problem most of my life UNTIL I finally read up on herbs and went to health food stores..what you need immediately is finely ground psyllium husk ( NOT SEED ) / mix it with juice ( I usually use orange juice) in a shaker with lid/ drink immediately ...I would use 4-6 teaspoons at lease in a ahaker...at LEAST twice a day!!! Also highly recommended is acidolphilus which replenishes the good bacteria in the intestines...this DOES work....it WILL work...because I suffered all my life with this--all doctors did was give me silly laxatives that will never help or work...the main problem was the digestion and intestinal traffic was not right...e-mail me if you wish...GOD BLESS !!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

super.lola69	you need some suppositories, laxative suppositories. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

denmcn1	Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Water is best but (and I'm not joking now...) a couple of pints of Magners does it for me everytime. You could also try getting a stomach massage specifically for the purpose of moving any matter in the bowel along, can be a little painful if you are very bloated but does help too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

k²	Ouch! See your GP. Different laxatives work in different ways. Some sugary ones draw fluid into your bowels to Hydrate the stool. Some others rely on fibre to put pressure on the stool. Others, like ones containing Bisacodyl work by dissolving the stool. Speak to your GP to see which he/she would prescribe to you for your needs. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Helking	Make sure you drink plenty of water (slightly warm is best) and see your doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J'adoreDior	I think you need a more balanced diet with more vegetables, fruit and definately fiber. They sell fiber pills and those will help a lot. Also give the laxatives some more time to work. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Michelle G	loads and loads of water, a good hot curry, failin that the docs Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hello Kitty	If your bowels open only after 5-7 days, you need to change your diet: - Drink plenty - Eat fiber - lots of fruit and veg - Avoid fat. If it usually doesn't take that long, you should see your doctor. theoneandonlytao has no right to say you shouldn't see a doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

john_on_road	I'm not a doctor but I can help from experience. If you haven't opened your bowels for several days there will be a 'plug' of material in your colon. Taking laxatives won't shift this. All that may happen is you might get a trickle of diahorrea past the plug. I suggest you go to your pharmacy and get glycerine suppositories and insert a couple. These are completely harmless and will just lubricate your rectum, hopefully allowing you to get things moving. If this doesn't work, you will need to contact your doctor who will prescribe an enema. This is also harmless but should really be performed by a qualified person. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
