Insufficient fibre in the diet is the chief cause of this problem -  \nFlax seed is a natural food high in fibre, lignan and omega-3 essential fatty acids.\nThe unique combination of flax seed fibre and omega-3 EFA’s soften the stool and promote bowel movements for relief of constipation. Flax seed cleanses the colon, and continued use may help prevent colon cancer.

Please read below about some of the consequences of long-term laxative use before you decide to deal with your constipation this way.  These are things that can happen to anyone who uses laxatives long-term, not just people with eating disorders. Be careful.\n\n\nWhat are the Consequences? \n     Essentially, whether taken short term or long term, laxatives create and perpetuate the very problem they were intended to\ncorrect. \n     Laxatives induce constipation as the\ntissues become dried out, muscles become weak from lack of use, and the delicate nerves lining the colon become damaged. This damage slows intestinal motility and results in constipation. \n     With damage from long term laxative abuse, the colon may fail to function\nentirely. This is laxative dependency. \n     An individual who abuses laxatives may have diarrhea like stools in place of well formed stools.\n     Long term laxative abusers may\nexperience weight loss, hair loss, vomiting, abdominal pain, low energy, thirst, dry eyes, headaches, puffiness, mood swings, bone pain and suffer symptoms of dehydration. \n     With prolonged use of laxatives a\nnumber of serious problems may arise such as fluid and electrolyte imbalances, damage to other organs, and syndromes resembling colitis.

yes they are because stems are also counted as edible portion depending on the type of vegetable. you can found besides fiber are carbohydrates sometimes a lil bit of iron and some micronutrients try to visit www.fnri.gov.ph

Not as a rule.  Try an over the counter stool softener with a laxative.  (Ducosate sodium).  Easy to swallow and works well.  This can be taken up to 3 x a day.  Increasing water intake and exercise (esp walking)  helps.

I would say alot of vegetables or laxatives. Mine is brown now but when I took laxatives they were runny and green. Something in the formula I guess.

First the important thing is to talk to your doctor.\n\nNext, don't take laxatives because your intestines (smooth involuntary muscle) will learn to rely on them.\n\nIt is important to increase your fiber intake - soluble and insoluble.  Soluble fiber (like the white/yellow part of an apple) makes your stool soft, and insoluble fiber (the apple peel) irritates the intestines and stimulates movement (peristalsis).\n\nThere are fiber supplements - if you intend to use those be certain to take enough water, otherwise that too can contribute to an obstruction.  There are bran cereals that are easy to eat - for example all bran has half a day's fiber in 1/3 cup of cereal.  Sprinkle that on a salad instead of bacon bits, mix it into muffins for extra fiber...etc.  Increase your intake of vegetables too.\n\nYou could end up with a nasty bout of diverticulosis which may also land you in surgery, and you only have so much bowel that can be removed.  You could also end up with a colostomy bag.  \n\nBest of luck to you.

Laxitive go to the store and get a bottle of milk of maginsa or something like that. It is a mild laxitive take like 3 or 4 table spoons thats what i use and i am 131lbs so it should be good for you. If your diet is crazy it will be to hard on your digestive system and you will get constapated a mild laxitive is cheap and it will fix the problem. You will go trust me it may take a while though eat more fiber and drink more water keep in mind though if you change your diet to more fiber and still nothing then you  may have a more serious problem and you should make someone take you to the doctor ESPECIALLY IF LAXITIVE DOES NOT WORK I HOPE I HAVE HELPED YOU AND AS LONG AS YOU DO THIS YOU SHOULD BE FINE OR AND \nONE MORE THING I ONCE BOUGHT A WHOLE BAG OF BABY CARROTS THEY HAVE SOME FIBER I ATE THE WHOLE BAG BUT DOING THIS IT TURNED THE STUFF THAT CAME OUT CARROT ORANGE BECAUSE OF THE BETA CARTIEN ANYWAY\n\n\nThe following foods are good sources of fiber: \n\nWhole grains (bran has the highest fiber content); this includes breads and cereals, whole-grain pastas, and brown rice\n\nNuts and seeds\n\nLegumes (such as dried peas, beans, lentils)\n\nFruits\n\nVegetables\n\nA dietary supplement of fiber products such as Citrucel or Metamucil, which are mixed with water and provide about 4 to 6 grams of fiber in each 8-ounce glass\nWhy should I eat more fiber?\nFoods that are high in fiber can help in the treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Dietary fiber may also help lower your cholesterol, and reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer.\n\n\nHow can I get more fiber in my diet?\nTry the following ideas to increase the fiber in your diet:\n\nEat at least 4 1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day. Fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber include:\n\nApples\nBerries\nFigs Oranges\nPears\nPrunes Broccoli\nBrussels sprouts\nCarrots Cauliflower\nGreen peas\nBeans \n\nReplace white bread with whole-grain breads and cereals. Eat brown rice instead of white rice. Eat more of the following foods:\n\nBran muffins\nBrown rice Oatmeal\nPopcorn Multiple-grain cereals, cooked or dry\n100% Whole-wheat bread \n\nEat bran cereal for breakfast. Check labels on the packages for the amounts of dietary fiber in each brand. Some cereals may have less fiber than you think.\n\nAdd 1/4 cup of wheat bran (miller's bran) to foods such as cooked cereal or applesauce or meat loaf.\n\nEat cooked beans each week\nStart slowly.\nWhen you first add fiber to your diet you may notice bloating, cramping or gas. But you can prevent this by making small changes in your diet over a period of time. Start with one of the changes listed above, then wait several days to a week before making another. If one change doesn't seem to work for you, try a different one.\n\nBe sure to drink more fluids when you increase the amount of fiber you eat. Liquids help your body digest fiber better. Try to drink 8 glasses of no- or low-calorie beverages, such as water, unsweetened tea or diet soda each day.

There are three things to consider here.\nFirst what is her diet like. Does she eat a normal amount of fruit, veg and fibre? For example at the moment maybe a portion of each a day would be a good idea.\nSecondly does she drink enough water? Water is very important in helping faecal matter pass throgh the intestines and bowel, it is basically the element which lubricates the motion. Fibre is actually making the situation worse if you are not drinking plenty of water. She should aim to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. Water is best, other fluids can help with hydration but some beverages can cause some dehydration or irritate the stomach i.e alcohol, coffee! Fruit juice helps with both of the above issues but be careful not to drink too much, you could go too far!\nThirdly, is there an underlying problem. Quite often physical factors can cause the constipation. Number one nowdays is stress and lifestyle changes. Being stressed out to the max or having to use the toilet in unfamiliar locations can cause constipation, so try to address these issues. Changes in diet or any change can cause periods of constipation consider what can be contributing to the problem and see if she can change back. Underlying pathophysiological conditions must also be considered, see the last paragraph.\nYou say your girlfriend has tried some medications, I don't know what these are but the usual method of treating the problem is to address the issues above and then try two different medications...bulking agents and laxatives. Bulking agents (e.g Ispaghula husk) help bulk up the stool helping push it through. This like fibre depends on a good intake of water. Laxatives come in different varities. Osomotic laxatives like lactulose (a sugary liquid) help draw water in to the stool lubricating it and helping it pass through the bowel. Stimulant laxatives help the intestines to physiaclly push the stool through the system. The mildest of these would be senna then she could try more potent laxatives like bisacodyl. Always start off with the mildest laxative possible and then try the next step if this has not worked after correct use for two to three days.\nMore serious conditions must be considered if the problem is ongoing. If your girlfriend has any severe pain, blood in her stools, alternating constipation and diarrhoea, weight loss or if the problem is going on for more than a few weeks I highly recommend she visits her doctor (who will be in the position to advise her)

I would not recommend taking laxatives unless a last resort for constipation. Laxatives leech the body of essential electrolytes such as potassium. When your body is potassium deficient, called hypokalemia (commonly seen in anorexics), symptoms include muscle weakness and myalgia, increased risk of hypoatremia (possible confusion and seizures), palpitations of the heart (ectopy to arrhythmias), nervous shaking, excessive sweating, and increased sensitivity of the nerves to the cold. \nOther potential problems include intestinal paralysis, IBS and pancreatis (inflammed pancreas). \nIf you only take it once, chances are you won't be too screwed up. But, what is your motivation to try them? Do you really want diarrhea? What's the point it that? It won't affect your stomach at all. Laxatives work on the intestines. They can work by many different mechanisms based on the type.\nSerious, though, think of the possible side effects. Don't use them for fun.

Hey..experienced laxative junkie here..lol..yes they work..I suggest going to cvs and buying exlax extra strength (blue pills) and some rolaids or tums just incase you get a tummy ache..start off the day buy popping two blue pills (WITH FOOD) and a glass of water or you'll get cramps..the cramps is because ure body is absorbing the pill two quickly..it needs other stuff in there to break it down..you wont lose alot of weight unless you cut calorie consumption..but if youre really bad one day and eat horribly ad break youre diet badly take 3-4 pills that day and 2-3 the next..you wont gain any weight from it..always remember to take ure pill int he am! it helps break down all the junk you eat during the day..and look at the back of the box..it takes 6-8 hrs sometimes! My fave laxs are the exlax I told you about and duldolax..works great but you can only take one a day..I ALWAYS get cramps with this pill..I never take more than one a day but they work great..I went on vaca with my bf to florida and we ate like total pigs..I took these towards the end of the vaca the last few days and I dropped 5 pds of the 8 I gained lol! Fiber powders/pills and such suck! They don't work well at all..neither do prunes..Mineral oil is great to cook with..it makes cakes/brownies/cookies taste alot better..and they help you get rid of that stuff lol! Everyone is going to say they arent healthy and it is a disgusting habit but whatever..if i didnt have them to help me diet I'd be alot more unhealthy and overweight..the only people who get sick from them are people who really abuse them! for example..take 10 a day...if you have any more questions email me kirchshannon@yahoo.com

Extracts of some hibiscus species are claimed to have health benefits, including prevention of constipation, bladder infections and nausea, and high blood pressure. The studies that yielded these results are debated.\n\nThe leaves and calyxes have been used as food and the flowers steeped for tea. Hibiscus has been used in folk medicine as a diuretic, mild laxative and treatment for cardiac and nerve diseases and cancer. Mucilaginous leaves have been used as topical emollient.♥
