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

The thing to look out for is if you become constipated. Throw some oat groats in with your smoothie.  You need to mix it until the gluten is released. That will give you the roughage to help against constipation. Other than that eat fruit, veggies, etc. I have a V*t* Mix and I pour oat groats in with some molasses based sugar. I pour in some milk and turn the mixer on. When it gets warm (not hot) I then add a scoop of whey protein (chocolate -- yummy) and a mixture of herbs (green stuff). Often I throw in a banana and even a carrot. This protein drink carries me through a long day.

Diagnosing online is never smart to do, However, if stools are hard, then you may want to consider a lot more fiber in your diet.\n\nDring atleast a large glass ot metemucil every day for a week or two and that poroblem will go away

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 --

I don't know, i think it is some kind of digestive problem... my son had that problem, but only if he hadn't taken a dump for many days, even a week or two.. so constipation may play a role in it.

This might seem too basic, but drink LOTS of water.\n\nLaxatives and prune juice may bloat you with unnecessary gas, making the problem worse before it gets better. \n\nDrinking lots of water will expedite the absorption through your intestines and VIOLA!\n\nAlmost forgot, you can also try a suppository, but beware if you have stool that is TOO hard it will be painful...get the vaseline.\n\nSOOOOO very sorry, been there- get better!\n\nSincerely,\n\nLady IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)  lol

Take colon cleansers. Food with high fiber in it. Phsyllum husks and things of that nature come in capsules and help as well.

Depends on what kind of digestive problems you are having. Gas? Trouble defecating? Try eating some yogurt to give your gastro-intestinal (GI)  tract a boost with some extra good bacteria. You could have irratible bowel sydrome (IBS). Maybe think about seeing a doctor?

Go to the pharmacy and ask a Pharmacist.. Or you could wander up and down the medicine aisle until you find a product that says LAXATIVE or STOOL SOFTENER.. \n\n--dietary habits like a low intake of dietary fiber or inadequate amounts of fluids also could be your problem..\n\n--intervention is the increase of fluids (preferably water) and dietary fiber. The latter may be achieved by consuming more vegetables and fruit, whole meal bread and by adding linseeds to one's diet\n\n--Laxatives may be necessary in people in whom dietary intervention is not effective or inappropriate. Stimulant laxatives (e.g. senna) are generally avoided, as they may worsen crampy sensations commonly experienced in constipation

It could be IBS, or "Irritable Bowel Syndrome". \n\nContact a doctor.

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.

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!

Usually you are constipated from not eating enough fibre and DRINKING AT LEAST 2 litres of water a day...\nMy suggestion would be exercise via walking etc, eat Oranges/Apples/Bananas as they stimulate the bowels together with WATER as mentioned most important as this bulks the stools and lubricates the bowels...\nThen make sure you eat vegetables daily together with fruit, grainy breads if possible stay way from processed foods opting for fresh home cooked meals\nBelieve me when your bowels are ready you will go  a couple times....other wise  natural concentrated fruit laxatives are available over the counter...\nColoxyl & Henna is also good laxative

Watch the consumption of various foods eaten. Sometimes processed foods, spicy foods, or spoiled food can create a reaction and our system responds by throwing it off via diarrhea.  There could also be an infection in your body needing to come out. As everyone has already mentioned...GO SEE A DOCTOR.  My suggestion is: Don't self medicate and don't use those OTC drugs that may constipate you, thus creating a continuous circle, going nowhere except back and forth to the bathroom. Go see your doctor if this extends past 3 weeks.  You may need to produce a stool sample for testing.

Change your diet and possibly see a gastroenterologist. I had showed IBS symptoms for awhile and saw a doctor and changed my diet and haven't really had any problems since. I believe going to the doctor and taking a barrium swallow will also assist them if needed.

The longest I didn't go to 'the little room' was 3 weeks. I ended up having a bowel investigation only to find that I had an intestinal blockage. Alongside stomach cramps however, I was loosing a lot of blood from my back passage. If not going for a few days is your only sympton, then I suggest drinking lots of water, eating more fruit and vegetables,fruit juices, licqourice in either herbal tea or tablet form and prunes (no matter how bad they taste -dried are least offensive!) Cut out red meat completely while you are constipated because it is very hard for your already struggling system to cope with. Please don't take endless laxatives, your intestines will become lazy if you do, leaving you in an even worse position long term. Good luck from someone who knows only too well how you feel xx

You may need to change your diet and eat more fiber.  You can also try suppositories.  Stay away from constant use of laxatives, especially the chemical ones, as they are habit forming to your system.  Do not expect instant change as it may take your body a few days to adjust.  Personally, I would really concentrate on finding something healthy to eat, (maybe Prunes or Prune Juice) that would help me go without straining too much.
