    Regardless the cause I promise you this will work within minutes

    ~ Chia Seeds ~ Flax Seeds ~ Hemp Seeds

    Just add it a smoothie (your favorite fruits/vegetables) blend and drink .....

    The next best thing is exercise get on a treadmill within an hour this will do the job :)

    Try dieter's tea or basically any herbal tea can be helpful but that one will clean get things going.

    how well with your gall bladder functioning? I don't have one. If you eat a diet with fat in it you need to help your body process the fat. You need to order bile salts. I use standard process ones and they work for me.

    My solution is 3 beers and a #6 from Taco Bell.

    The Milk of Magnesia is available for purchase at any major pharmacy.
    1 tsp = 1 big bomb

    I'm worse. Been taking naturopathic laxatives and also drinking Smooth Moves (senna) tea. Also drinking lots of water. Nothing is moving! It makes me bloated and then grumpy because I feel fat. :(

    last night i had 500 mls of aloe and kiwi juice, 2 litres of 'be regular' tea (with peppermint, chamomile, milk thistle and senna in it) (not as much as it sounds, it was 2 x 1L bottle of water with one teabag in each), 4 prunes, 7 dried apricots, and 2 pieces of natural licorice. It worked too well :S

    stoked, though.

    i had constipation for YEARS (going once or twice a week) and it wasnt until I started exercising that I started going everyday. I also ate more fats and that helped a lot.

    you were constipated for years??? Holy ****....

    I give my daughter prune juice with apple juice. About 1/3 prune and 2/3 apple, if you're into that sort of thing. Mostly what does it is the sugar in the juice combined with the prune, because the sugar acts like a natural softener by drawing water into the colon.

    For me, coffee every day does lovely things.

    I am glad you are not my mom....

    One word: senna tea

    Ok, you tried it? Listen, it always works. Try it again, 2 bags in 1 cup water at 8pm . Spend morning near the facilities.

    Yes. It's a bit concerning. I exaggerated a bit. Guess things are moving. But not much or well. How fast does the tea work?

    where exactly does it say I had a laxative? didn't. had a bunch of natural stuff. Your posts in here aren't very positive, tbh. If you've got nothing useful to say, why bother?

    you could always hook up a vacuum cleaner to your *kitten* and turn it on high...essentially a home made colonoscopy....

    Where exactly is right here.
    'be regular' tea (with peppermint, chamomile, milk thistle and senna in it)

    Senna = laxative
