What will you do when you are constipated?

i drink a glass of lukewarm water first thing in the morning. that helps a lot. also drink plenty of water specially if you eat junk food. include high fiber food in your diet (try popcorn - it helps)

It happens to me very rare thank god but I eat prumes when it does happen. It works for me with no problem.

I had that problem last month or about three days. My husband does the cooking in our household, so I asked him what to eat for constipation. He made me some salads, and other things with lots of vegetables. Prune juice and plums are good for constipation, but we could not find any at the market, so he made me salads with lots of lettuce, and other dark green vegetables, and whatever else we had, that went well in a salad.

i just drink a lot of water when i am constipated and stop eating chocolates and try to eat rice more.

Hello Mobhomeir, I have encounter this problem before. You can try a few steps to ease the constipation and be careful on what you eat. 1. take more fluids , soy beans, fruits juice and prune juice, avoid coffee. 2. Eat more vegetables and fiber food. Hope this help!

my simple best remedy for that is drink lots of fluid but if its worse there`s alot of tea that could help relieve that.

I try to eat lots of lettuce. I also have a medicine I take when it gets too severe or has been going on for multiple days.

hi there. also feel constipated sometimes. try to drink more water or cranberry juice! some food with fiber. i also tried milk coz am lactose intolerant so it worked on me. before i sleep i also drink tea. i hope it could help. ü

I have done the Master Cleanse several times to help with regularity and cleaning out the insides. This is an amazing experience but not for everyone. There is a part for the cleanse of doing a salt water wash. You drink saltwater pretty fast and it works like a charm. Within minutes the bowels are moving again. Good Luck!

many mylotters have told some suggestions for u ,such as drinking sufficient water everyday,eat fruit and vegetables.but the most inmportant is exersing yourself and making you strongger!

i usually take some ancient chinese herbal medicatio for this. It tastes really bad but it really really works. It's my grandmother's secret recipe passed down the line of our family.

Drink more water. Take fiber rich diet.More importantly do some active exercises.

I don't often have problems with contipation,but I find that drinking a Diet coke will get things moving pretty quick if i need the help .Also for some reason,going shopping in bookstores always makes me need to go to the bathroom (#2) --i find myself having to find a place to put my stash of books i,m planning to buy and run off to the restroom before comming back to finish shopping .I guess it has something to do with the bodily movement of walking around stimulating the bowls.But why does it always happen to me in bookstores? (May be beause thats where i do most of my walking around ...) I've noticed with my dog too.that when i take her for a walk ,it takes a while of walking before she needs to do her thing .So i do think there is some connection between excercise and regularity. Eating lots of fiber is also supposed to be good for keeping your plubing working smoothly.Prunes are the stereotypical food that older people use to help keep them from being constipted.My parents have 3-4 of them a day,usually chopped up on their bowl of cereal.I love prunes,so if i had an issuue with constipation,that would be what i'd gravitate towards.However i think my Diet Coke habbit does the trick for me for now. I hope this responce work.

it's called IBS irritable vowel syndrome and i have it bad the best thing to do naturaly is to eat rice ,lots of fresh vegs, rasin bran ,and take a fiber pills of some kind or a stool softer everyday and then once a month use a good colon cleanser

I was told by a doctor I went to not to worry if I did not have a bowel movement everyday because sometimes it just wouldn't happen. I agree that is does feel comfortable, but I just make sure I eat a good diet of fruit and vegetables (plenty of them, more than protein like meat or fish). I eat vegetables more or less raw and only sometimes, cook them lightly. These days I rarely get any stomach problems like I used to have. - Derek

I have some problems and there are two things that help me a lot. One is corn. I boil corn kernels and make a salad with that. The otther new thing is Activia. It´s a new yogourt. I´m taking it but I vote for corn. Take care!

Hello Martin, If you are not having ulcers,you can start with a glass of water upon waking up.Then,eat slices of pineapple or papaya,this helps with digestive system to move bowel. As we grow older,we need to eat fruits and vegetables(eat raw veggies if possible)coz,these foods had natural enzymes that can be digested easily and won't stuck in our intestines for a long period of time. Commercial medicines will only give us temporary relief but also leaves a side effects,so better take natural foods like fruits.But choose fruits that are fiber rich like pineapple,papaya,oranges and mango.In addition to eating fruits,do not eat jackfruit and mango together coz it is not a good combinatin.Also watermelon and buko not a good combination too. Have a good day amigo

hello mob *searching wikipedia for constipat...." Oh, my G*d this happens to me to and it just happened to me recently probably because i don't go when ever my stomach tells me to go, that's why instead of pooping down, the rest goes back up. before i use C-lium fiber that really helps for bowel movement. probably i should by one tomorrow am done having a hard time pooping out!

drink plenty of water, eat a lot of high fiber fruits. water still the best so drink at least 8 glasses a day. i normally have a regular vowel movement because i always eat fruits everyday even if i'm not able not able to drink 8 glasses of water a day coz i drink soda more than water.

i also experience being constipated always.the secret how to avoid it first is drink at 12 glasses of water everyday it is ok if you also drink some other fluids it also helps to not be constipate.another thing is that when you ate fruits you need to drink water as well because if you just ate fruits without water you will also get constipated.third is you need to move,walking is also helpful.fourth is you need to have time or specific schedule for bowel either done it in the morning or what you prefer.and the last resort is to take some dulcolax tablet or suppository if still constipated.then if still constipated now that is the time to seek a physician might there is more problem why you constipated maybe it blocked your bowel called bowel impaction or some strictures,polyps.etc..
