Don't know what to do about constipation

Rice and quinoa works for me. I tried taking rice and potatoes out of my diet before and it was really bad. My body just needs these things or it stops functioning properly. Everyone is soooo different so it is all about what you find works for you. Experimenting is key. Dairy does it for me too but it is only because my stomach can't handle the dairy though so that is only in desperate times. It was worst for me when I gave up rice. I will never do that again.

What I do is eat foods high in fiber so broccoli and raw green vegetables, apples, oranges, blueberries, sprinkle lemon in your water, Senna either in tea or pill form, flax seeds, and if that's still not enough take Magnesium and calcium supplements. I tried Fiber supplements but they didn't do anything for me...but I do know they work for others. Hope you find something that works for you!

That is a tricky one. I used to be constipated like for my entire life. And I tried uping my fiber to 30 g and drinking water, tried adding fruits and veges didn't really work. I tried those colon cleanse pills (different types) And when I tried the one cleanse it was just diarrhea.

I started taking food grade diatomaceous earth for a month and that helped. I stopped taking it out of laziness but now I am going regularly and naturally. I just eat regular makign sure most food is raw, natural unprocessed food, with fruits and vegetables and lots of water.

I saw on this TV something about mixing Ghee and tumeric, you might want to research your symptoms/cause what does and doesn't work for you and go from there. I wish you luck!!! This can be a frustrating situation. Everyone has some great suggestions, hope it helps

EASY, Magnesium!

eat some raisins or sunsweet prunes or the dried plum bites. if that doesn't work try a stool softner ( not a laxative) just a softner
Dried fruits usually work. It may take a few days.

Just be sure with dried fruits to add extra water. Works like a charm.

You can do a Metamucil type fiber or pills once a day . = Both slow working so no added issues.

Laxatives can cause unwanted emergencies. If you can't fix the issue with a high fiber diet and plenty of water then you may want to consider a 'stool softener'. You can buy all-natural ones at Wholefoods. May take a day or two to work, but much gentler to your system than a laxative.

Eat more fiber, Fiber one is good, and you can get those drink mixes to give you more fiber.

People are offering some really good options here...I have problems with it too. I have to avoid too much cheese, for one...and ingest more fruits and veggies...made the mistake of eating a little too many cherries one night and constipation wasn't an issue any longer LOL

Ground flax seeds. Works everytime and it is good for you. I put it in my yogourt.

if the food remedies aren't working, you can try a simple laxative like magnesium sulfate. CVS sells it, it's like $3 and comes in two flavors. ask the pharmacist there if you aren't sure how much to take. i've used that before, and it's helped.

Eat plenty of foods high in fiber (fruit, whole grains, vegetables) and drink plenty of liquids. If that doesn't help, try prune juice - it's not the tastiest thing around and is almost sickenly sweet but it does the job.

If this is a chronic problem, I'd also suggest a daily probiotic and perhaps taking Metamusil or equivalent daily.

I dont know what to do, im always constipated, i drink loads of water though and eat loads carrots but i dont know whatdo do, any advice??

Try a big bottle of cranberry or apple juice. By the time you finish it (not suggesting drinking it all at once) your bowels should be looser than before.

Senna tea like smooth move tea! Love it drink it before bed I am now for the first time in my adult life regular!

This ^^^^
Works like a charm

What helped me was water, veggies (mainly spinach and spaghetti squash), and beans. Buuuuut... when I eat a good serving of beans, I have to take Beano for my tummy lol
