If your constipation is a temporary condition, I would suggest drinking 6 glasses of water today. Drink one glass with a tablespoon of sea salt and follow it up with a glass of straight water in the morning, afternoon, and evening. This will rehydrarte and remineralize your body. You can wash down the salty water with fresh water until you get used to the taste. Avoid any dairy products, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat today. Pick up some prune juice and raw apple cider vinegar if constipation persists. Continue drinking the salt water and take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar plus cinnamon for taste in prune juice the next morning, afternoon, and evening.\n\n\nFor chronic constipation, you should continue fasting from using dairy of any kind, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat, continue hydrating your system with unrefined seas salt and water three times a day, and continue taking raw apple cider vinegar and cinnamon for two weeks.\n\nIf you do not have regular bowel movements after two weeks, continue fasting from using dairy of any kind, white bread, sugary beverages, and red meat, then add a tablespoon of olive oil, a drop of oregano oil, and add two tablespoons of cinnamon to a shot of prune juice and drink it three times a day for two weeks while you continue with the salt water and apple cider vinegar.\n\nIf your body is not in perfect functioning order after two weeks with a changed diet, olive oil and oregano oil, salt water, and apple cider vinegar, I would suggest a colonic using a coffee enema from a colonic specialist. \n\nAt this point you should be the most healthy you have been in your whole life. Your urine should be nearly clear, you should have regular bowel movements, and your body would be in optimal good health. Start adding walnuts and almonds to your diet. Begin juicing carrots, and fruits, and veggies and eat or juice half of of your food raw. You will never regret it.\n\nIf it is just constipation, a little sea salt and water in the morning, afternoon, and evening could fix your body but drugs are not the answer. Drugs by their definition must kill a rat or the FDA will not sanction any drug as a "drug." Otherwise it is called "food." Let your food heal your body. All health conditions come from a lack of minerals. Your body does not have a lack of rat poison. Don't take rat poison to mask symptoms when you could remineralize your body with sea salt and water, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon plus eating a healthy diet by avoiding  toxic vaccinated, steroid pumped up red meat, dairy, \nand chemically toxic processed food.  It is all up to you how far you will take it but the journey is worth the effort.\n\nYah Bless\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179

that's not what laxatives are for.  try eating a good healthy diet with lots of fiber... things like beans, whole grains like oats and oat bran, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables.

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.

Drink a bottle of Citrate of Magnesium. You can ask the pharmacist to help you to find it on the shelf. It starts working in as little as 1 hour. Be at home when you do this and does not cause the usual cramping that laxatives do. I also have had a bowel re-section so I have to drink this periodically. I have tried virtually everything there is, and this is the best. Everything else listed either caused severe stomach cramps, no relief for hours, or did not work at all.

Are you eating enough fiber?  Doesn't sound like it.  Fiber will not only help you to go poop, it will also help even you out so you neither have constipation OR diarrhea. \n\nStay away from spicy foods, high "gas" foods (like cauliflower, beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli) and eat more whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat pasta) and baked-not mashed-potatoes.  Of course lots of veggies....except tomatoes.  That will make your symptoms worse.

Calcium polycarbophil is a non-prescription bulkforming laxative that is used to reduce both constipation and diarrhea. It draws water to the intestine, enlarging the size of the colon and thereby stimulating movement. \nIt reduces diarrhea by taking extra water away from the stool. This drug should relieve constipation in 12 to 24 hours and have maximum effect in three days. Colitis patients should see a reduction in diarrhea within one week.

A great colon cleanser is Castor oil. I take four ounce and devote a weekend a month to colon cleansing. You will have flush bowel movements in about an hour. See Sources....

Take fiber that is made from 100% pure psyllium fibre plant material. it helps eliminate constipation, promote bowel movement and assists in removing waste and toxins from teh colon and intestine.\n\nIt aids in weight loss because it makes you feel FULL and there's a tendency that you eat less.\n\nFiber cancels out colories that aids in weight loss. take fiber before meals and aid it with exercise and proper diet.

Don't use a laxative...they will usually give you cramps.  Try Metamucil.  The orange flavor is not so bad and usually works in about 1/2 hour or so.  Take it tomorrow too just to keep things moving.

Pain pills can have various side effects, if it is anti-inflammatories you are taking, these can give people gastrointestinal upset and stomach pains, that is why it is best to take these types of medications with meals. If it is more of a narcotic, like Lortab, Vicodon, Darvocet, etc, they can give alot of people drowsiness and when used over longer periods of time, constipation. Make sure to drink these with plenty of water, and do not operate heavy machinery when taking them. Also if you are taking them long term, you may want to add a stool softener that way you do not get constipation from use.

Oat bran, always drink lots of water or hot herbal tea or coffee, get a mineral oil enema and use it, take stool softener or milk of magnesia. Have a specific time each day to try to go. Prune juice will only give you gas so forget about that.

Zelnorm is for IBS with constipation. I don't take it myself, but we prescribe it in the MD office that I work at (Nurse). About 75 percent of the patients that use it get really good results. Also, there are much less side effects with this medication than with laxatives.

Pain medication can cause constipation.  Stool softeners would be better than laxatives.  If you still don't have a bowel movement, you should call your doctor and ask them what to do.  If you start vomiting, call your doctor right away.  If you do have a bowel obstruction, it's not a good thing.\nThe strange feeling in the rectum could also be a hemorrhoid. Which is another good reason to use a stool softener.

constipation is caused by a lack of fiber, water, or exercise. I suggest you do all three.
