    I should add it hits in an hour or so so don't take it if you are not going to be at home all day.

    When you're constipated it really is the best feeling ever when it starts working.

    Drink water, exercise, cut the protein supplements (powders, bars) if you're using them, eat fruits and veggies, more water and exercise.

    If you mix up some prune juice, applesauce and milk of mag then warm it a little and drink it down, you'll almost certainly go. You'll probably have a blowout, but you'll go. Dulcolax as a last resort, but if you find yourself taking laxatives on any sort of regular basis, see a doctor.

    A colonic massage is a huge help. You can google how to do it, but massaging at the base of the belly, then toward the right, up, over toward the left and back down...mix that with the prune juice concoction and bam! You'll poop out everything you ever ate.

    1. 10k steps a day
    2. Fibre, fibre, fibre
    3. Water, water, water
    4. Coffee makes a pretty darn good laxative.

    Or you can try a jar of babyfood prunes.

    My daily evening snack is a serving of prunes (5 pieces). 100 cals - I highly recommend it. Good luck!
