Metamucil. It's natural and causes fewer problems than a lot of other laxatives.
any of them will work. You might try a stool softener though then you won't get the runs.
Even the most stubborn state of constipation has to kick loose when you use "Black Drought" (hope I spelled that right).
Its not a joke. You might be able to pick some up at a drug store off the shelf.
try diet herbal tea.drink it before sleep,you sure to do the no.2 without difficulty in the morning.
First, drink extra water with Metamucil fiber mixed in twice per day. Philips Milk of Magnesia occasionally to get back on a regular schedule of bowel movements. At home or when traveling, when all else fails, use a Fleet type enema purchased at your drug store.
bobweb has a great answer if this is an occasional problem. If this is chronic or happens all of the time you could have motility problem and should talk with your doc.
Let me first explane to you, I am an alternative medicinal therapist and we have to go through some tough training so whatever I advise you on will be accurate. DON'T EVER TAKE LAXATIVES, the reasons are to long to go into here but they WILL ONLY MAKE A BAD CONDITION WORSE. The very best thing you can take(and I recommend this to all my clients) is PSYLLIUM HUSKS. They contain enzymes that aid in the breakdown of digestive juices and it's roughage. In short, it is nature's 'brillo pad' They are gentle, safe and very effective. If you go to your local health shop and ask for ''LEPRICOL'' Either in tablet form or in a powder which you mix with water or fruit juice and it's tasteless.Follow the directions on the container. It takes about a week to get into the system. There are several cures for constipation. Also drink at least 2 pints of water a day (8 glasses)and do change your diet. I am also a nutritional therapist so if you need any further assistance e-mail me on: alternative@medicine123.wanado.
PS: If you smoke either cut it down or stop it altogether, smoking is very very bad for digestion system.

Milk of Magnesia 30 CC (1 ounce) drink plenty of water, that should flush you out, and then take docusate sodium capsules (stool softner) everynight at bedtime. I would recommend this, if you jump from being constipated to having diarrhea all the time trying to use things to clean your colon then you can cause problems with your bowels not being able to work unless you have a laxative. Also try making fiber a big part of your diet, this is also good for the colon.
