First, quit trying to make your body fit a schedule.  That's artificial and will cause more problems in the long run - it may even make your suffering worse.  What you want is a good easy clean bowel movement.  If you get to that point, timing shouldn't be a problem.\n\nSo - add more fiber to your diet.  However, you don't have to do the nasty metamucil/bran sludge thing - the following will give you fiber:\n\nWhole grain breads (easy way to add more fiber if you eat white bread or that "whole wheat" bread that is slightly browner than white); brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat variations on pasta;  beans; dried fruit such as raisins or apples; veggies, especially the crunchy ones (don't need to be eaten crunchy, just to start crunchy);  ditto fruits, especially apples. However, probably the only fruit juice that will help is the OJ with extra pulp.  \n\nOrange peel is very good for fiber.  If you eat an orange, nibble on the peel when your finished.  If you eat toast, try marmalade.\n\nSo how does an oatmeal raisin cookie with some candied orange peel sound?\n\nOh, and drink lots of liquids, while you are at it.  The lower intestine can be too good at sucking out liquid.

Why spend all that money when you can do it for less?  Try the Salt Water Flush.\n\nDIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of luke-warm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of Sea Salt . Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.\n\nIf the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possible take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way—the salt water way.\n\nMake sure you're around a toilet for a couple of hours!

If you consume alcohole first give it up.\nConsuming too much chilly is second reason, if you do please go on minimising it till you feel comfortable. Don't listen anybody, do and note down observations.\nAvoid above two and use green vegitables and salads to treat your constipation.\nAcidity is third reason. If it is there then also avoid above two, garlik and clove, tobacco and use milk and/or ghee drawn from curds,your problem will be minimised.

Sounds like they need to see if you have a obstruction somewhere.  Also taking some stool softners everyday may help.\n\nAre you drinking alot of water?\n\nCan they change you to a different drug for detoxing...like Clonidine?

There is nothing like good stool.  Your stool indicates the health of your body.  Following are the identities of a stool from healthy body\n1) Should be pale brown in colour (not black/yellowish)\n2) Should be solid round in shape (not liquid)\n3) Should not be in too many small pieces (normally in few big pieces)\n4) Should float on water (Sinking ones are the previous day stool which your food canal tries to suck back during night)\n5) Ideally it should not stink.  If your food habbit are not normal then it may stink a little bit, but should not be too stinky.\n\nNow to have a smooth bowel movements in the mornings\n1) Eat bananas\n2) Drink lot of water.  Preferrably early in the morning in order to have a smooth bowel movement.\n3) Have date syrup.\n4) Mix one spoon of honey/ lime with a cup of warm water and drink it in empty stomach.

Increase your intake of water and fiber.Fruit has lots of fiber.Also raw vegetables,Oatmeal,nuts,and whole grains.Don't do laxatives.That is only a temporary fix.You also could become addicted to them.Diet is a major factor contributing to Constipation..Medications can play a part as well.Talk to your Doctor if this goes on for a long period of time or if you notice abdominal pain.Exercise can also make you more regular.A lazy body can make for a lazy colon.

It is not really necessary to have a "bowel cleansing." I had IBS as a child and know exactly all the problems your are talking about. You need to increase the amount of fiber in your diet. My doctor placed me on Citrucel powder and I took it three times a day before my meals. Try this and see what happens. You may also need to remove caffeine from your diet. My doctor placed me on strictly water to drink. Also make sure you are not taking NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aleve, etc.). If you have frequent diarrhea, you also need to make sure that you are staying hydrated well.

It depends on the person. If you feel uncomfortable and bloated, you may be constipated and getting more fiber in your diet may help.\n\nFor most people, once a day is the norm.  Some more, some less.  The best thing is to think back to the last time you felt "normal" and try to remember how often you went then. If you're going less now, then add fiber - in the form of fresh fruits, raw vegetables and whole grains - to your diet.\n\nActually, that would be good for anyone, whether they're constipated or not!

Hello -\n\nA diet with increased fiber and water intake is known to work for infrequent cases of constipation.  You could also try a laxative, though it may damage your digestive lining and lead to dependency later.\n\nIf you're facing chronic constipation, you may want to ask your doctor about processes like colonic irrigation.\n\nIf you have chronic constipation and would prefer to resolve the issue more privately, try a product called "Oxy-Powder."  You can find it on eBay or by googling it.  It works (allegedly) by delivering oxygen to the small intestine, which (allegedly) helps to ease and facilitate the digestive and eliminative processes.  It appears to be very well-reviewed.\n\nBest of luck to you --

In opposition to above, You DO NOT stop taking medications that can cause constipation.  What about the other reason, That is just nonsense.  Now to take care of your constipation. Drink lots of water and eat foods that are high in fiber or use a fiber substitute like Benefiber or Metamucil. Since you have taken a laxative, you may want to try taking a laxative that includes a stimulant like Ducolax or Sennakot.  These will help stimulate your colon to push it out.  Also, i'm sure you have probably been straining to defecate since you have been stopped up for a week.  You may want to try using a glycerin suppository as well as these ohter things to help lubricate your sphincter when your poo is on its way out.  This way you will lessen the chance of causing hemorrhoids and it wont hurt so bad.  Good luck, And drink lots of water :-)

As considered healthy by most doctors, having a bowel movement every day is "normal & healthy."  Though that may not be normal for you, every other day isn't a bad thing either. If you go longer than 2-3 days then you may have some constipation issues, or something else could be wrong. The bowel movement should pass easily, so if you have ( sorry to be graphic here) hard bowel movements that require pushing, you need to drink more fluids especially water. If you want a natural way to help increase bowel movements, start drinking a glass or two of prune juice every day. It may not taste great but it works. You need to keep an eye on your diet, because it can also have adverse affects on your regularity. If you don't eat enough leafy greens or vegetables period, and eat lots of junk food or mostly meats, that could be your problem.  Above all if you think you have a problem, speak to your doctor and see what he/she suggests. Good luck!
