Prune juice or eating prunes are the best things to use as a natural laxative.

this would depend on the tyoe, if your taking ones that irratate the lining of your intestine then deffinatly you should ween off, where as if its a fiber/bulk forming type, i would ween much less and deffintly recommend drinking water... and if you go more than 4 or 5 days without a BM go see your docter

Is it chronic?  Just a passing bout?\n\nDo the BRAT method... Bananas Rice Apples and Toast.  Eat only things of those types to help firm up your stools for the next 24-48 hours.  Take immodium or pepto or another diarrhea formula medicine.\n\nLong term, drink lots of water and add more fiber to your diet.\n\nGood luck

I set aside one weekend a month to cleanse my system. I insert two bisacodyl suppositories and take four ounces of Castor oil. This causes multiple bowel movements. After I start going I take six bisacodyl pills. This process will make you go until what comes out is clear. Be sure to drink at least 8 ounces of water every hour and to eat yogurt to replace your natural flora after doing this. I seen to stay regular for several weeks after doing this.

I would take a stool softener and drink lots of water, not a laxative. You need something which will work through your entire digestive system from the stomach down. A suppository and enema only work from the butt up (and they don't work themselves up through the entire intestinal track). It will take a couple of days before the stool softener works, but it is the least harsh method for your problem. Good luck !

Drink a glass of warm water with 1 tsp honey and juice of 1/2 a lemon/lime in the morning before you eat or drink anything.\nDrink 1 liter of water in the morning before you eat or drink anything.\nLiquorice (mulathi) is a natural laxative. Chew a few sticks daily.\nTake 3 tsp of psyllium husk (Sat Isabgol) in milk or warm water at bed time.\nSoak one date overnight in half a cup of water. Next morning mash the date and drain the water. Drink 1 teaspoon of this water four times a day.\nDrink a solution of 1/2 tsp honey in 1/2 cup warm water 2-3 times a day to cure constipation.\nMix 1/2 cup olive oil with 1/2 cup orange juice and drink to cure constipation.\nEat at least 350 g of grapes daily. The combination of the properties of cellulose, sugar and organic acid in grapes makes it a laxative food. Eating grapes tones up the stomach and intestines and relieves the most chronic constipation. When fresh grapes are not available, raisins soaked in water can be used. Overweight and diabetic people should not use grape therapy.\nPut Senna pods (6 to 12 for adults and 3 to 6 for children) in water and drink this tea.\nBale fruit is the best natural laxative.\nDrink 1 Tbsp of corn syrup added to 4 glasses of water.\nMixed castor oil (about half a tsp) with equal quantity of honey and drink daily.\nJuice Laxative:\nMix 1 cup tomato juice, 1/4 cup carrot juice, and 1/2 cup sauerkraut juice and drink.

Breakfast is a no-brainer: Oatmeal.  I mix a cup of milk (regular or soymilk) with 2/3 cups oats and some cinnamon; and nuke it for 2 or 3 minutes.  I may put a little pancake syrup on top.  Coffee.\n\nLunch is usually soup (often split pea or bean, without corn/tomatoes, etc, and/or a baked SWEET potato (no skin of course).  Metamucil sells these cookies "wafers" that I have in mid-afternoon with my tea; they're pretty good, actually.  \n\nDinner is usually fish and cooked vegetables (I sure do miss salads, sigh!!).  ICE CREAM  for dessert works for me.

Get to a health store and purchase some Flax seed.  Grind it up in the coffee grinder and use 1 tsp a day in your cereal.  You won't have any more problems and it will clean out your intestinal tract.  It's tasteless.  You'll feel great.

Mag Citrate can give you diarrhea, also if you eat enough ex-lax, that should do the trick too.

you need to drink mineral oil every night two big swallows plus take the stool softeners 3 times daily. you can lay off the laxatives you do this for two days and you will be amazed at the difference it makes. you also need to not eat peanut butter or cheese. for the gas you can take two soft gel caps of gas-x any time you feel the gas starting to build up and it will stop that. al this stuff i told you to take is over the counter from wal-mart

Absolutely. If you're having "problems "and want to take a laxative, try eating prunes or figs daily and increase the ammount of water you drink every day. At least 8 cups a day is the minimum reccomendation.

Constipation can be prevented by drinking a lot of water, eating plenty of foods with fiber (fruits and veggies), and getting regular exercise.  When you need a little more help, there are fun things at the drug-store to help.  Milk of Magnesia, which is a thick, chalky liquid.  Fiber drinks and chewable tablets, but sometimes these can constipate you at first.  Stool softeners, like Colace, can help, but are not helpful if you haven't gone in a few days.  Mag-citrate, which is a "lemon-lime" flavored fizzy liquid, is pretty powerful, and I call it a colon-blow for intense constipation.    Want to go natural?  Prune Juice.  If it has been a really long time since your bowels have moved, you may need a suppository to help.  Good luck!
