As we cannot feel if our Valve is open or closed I assume you have already been to a doctor for diagnosis.  If their suggestions have not helped, You may try magnesium supplements.  Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer (to avoid spasms) (use magnesium ascorbate or amino acid chelate form)and magnesium in the Oxide form is insoluble...which stays in your digestive tract and makes your stool softer.

This has helped me and I got the advice from a colon doctor who follows his own advice:\n\nEvery morning eat a bowl of "All Bran" or "Fiber One" cereal, with some fruit or dried fruit (for taste).  (the above cereals have the highest, by far, of fiber content per serving)\n\nAfter a few weeks of doing this, I became "more regular" and did not have to eat it every day.

Constipation?\nYou may want to urgently get more fiber in your diet, eating spelt flour pancakes often, cut them into noodles for soups, fill them with jam or vegetables, fruit or left overs. Chew well.\n\nWhite flour items may make you constipated. Avoid.\n\nMore fiber also makes necessary to drink more. Purified water, green tea, herbal teas.\n\nConstipation has been helped often in one session by Color*MedicineTM, Dinshah color Yellow! Also Natrum Sulphuricum, a homeopathic Tissue Salt.\n\nBloating? Dinshah color Orange and/or Magnesium Phosphoricum (Tissue Salt, health food store).\n\nVegetables have a lot of fiber, too, so have fruit. Lentils, beans, too, and prunes. Eat some daily.\n\nLess fiber: meat and animal products in general. Reduce or eat with fiber foods only.\n\nYou may also want to get some enzymes to help digestion.\n\nRobert Gray composed a colon bacteria food, for the bacteria to help digest our food and make Vitamin B12 for us. You may ask in your health food store, brand something with horizon. Tastes great with Avocados.\n\nSpeedy recovery and staying "current."\nCordially, India.Magica

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 --

Hi there,\nIf you have a problem with your colon I would rather recommend a Tsp. Psyllium Hulls Combination from Nature's Sunshine in a glass of water or juice and 2 capsules of Cascara Sagrada also for Nature's Sunshine. Eat them around 6 clock in the evening and you have no more problems. Colonic is not just a 10 x thing and it will get costly after a while. So think about it, if the same thing can be done the natural way. Good Luck

Just take a good fiber product with lots of psylium husk. That is the best fiber, bar none. And fiber products are very inexpensive.\n\nI'm sorry, but the average American diet does not provide anywhere near to the amount of fiber we need, and that amount is controversial. What we do know is that you need a lot of fiber, much more than different foods can give you. I love bran muffins, they are loaded with fiber, but not enough to give me, or any one else, the daily amount we need. A gram here and one there means nothing. So my friend, you need to supplement! Compared to the colon cleanse variety of cleansers which give you all kinds of herbs and stuff you never heard of, with many rules and regulations like --- do this --- don't do that etc., it makes you dizzy, psylium husk is simple and effective. But most of all you don't have to take it for weeks or months like the colon cleanse combination mixes. Usually, after a day or two you will be OK. To bad, I guess we can't mention product names here, because I could give you a few. Just make sure to read and follow the directions. It really makes all the difference. I mean if it tells you to take 4 capsules 4 times a day----do it!

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.

You want to make sure you're drinking loads of water, getting enough fiber (vegetables and fruit, whole meal bread).  And for an immediate visit to the bathroom, I'd pick up some laxatives from your local drugstore, there's over-the-counter stuff available.  If none of this helps go see a doctor immediately. Hope that helps.

Try mixing your diet and bowel movements toghter.\n\nTry upping your fibre content in your diet, you could eat prunes, dates of figs, and then you have a healthy snack.\n\nALSO try upping your water intake, if your stools are moister then your body may find it easier to exit them.\n\nIf all else fails, as you have tried senokot go to your doctor, as you COULD have a bowel problem.

drink a probiotic - called Kerfir - found at grocery stores and health food stores.  more powerful than yougurt - great for getting your bowel back to the "right" chemical balance.  drink lots of water and becareful if you eat a lot of fiber - slowly add fiber ( and you must drink plenty of water with any food containing fiber)

He needs to adjust his diet and include alot of fruit and vegetables.  Fiber in fresh fruits and veggies will help with constipation.  Also, he needs to increase his water intake, because water is absorbed in the colon and will keep your bm's soft.  He can take Metamucil, which is just fiber every day.  Keep away from caffiene, junk foods and colas.  Exercise will also help with the activity of the colon.  For immediate relief, try some warm prune juice...it works wonders!  Godloveya.
