Constipation

Constipation is a very common condition that tends to affect more women than men. It generally appears to women just before their period or during pregnancy. It is normally not very serious although occasionally, complications can occur if the condition is not treated.

Symptoms of Constipation

Stomach ache and cramps

Change in your normal bowel pattern

Headaches

Furred tongue

Loss of appetite

Fatigue and depression

Feeling bloated

Feeling sick

Causes of Constipation

According to Ayurveda, constipation is generally caused due to aggravation of vata. But it can also be caused due to aggravation of pitta or kapha.

It is mainly caused by wrong eating habits and bowel habits. Eating too much of food that the digestive system can't handle, eating food items that are not easily digested by body, not taking enough fibrous food like fruits and vegetables, irregular sleeping pattern, mental tensions, etc can cause constipation.

Herbal Treatment for Constipation

The best laxative is triphala. When used as a laxative, triphala strengthens colon. Other laxatives are harsh on colon, which is unfavorable condition. Triphala balances metabolism, thereby ensuring more nourishment to blood. Take a teaspoon of triphala powder at bed time.

Triphala is basically an ayurvedic medicine that is popular as rasayana or the rejuvenator. It is the combination of three herbs. These herbs are

  • Amla (Emblica officinalis)
  • Harada (Terminalia chebula)
  • Behada (Terminalia belerica)

Triphala is a valuable herb for digestive problems. It not only works as a mild laxative but also helps in improving the peristaltic movements in the gastro intestinal tract. It stimulates liver to secrete bile juices that are very essential for fat metabolism.

According to ayurvedic practitioners, it is one of the best colon cleansers and is highly recommended in constipation. It helps in detoxification of the body. It has gained the popularity as the mild laxative.

Also include fruits like papaya, mango, banana, grapes, oranges, apple etc in your diet. Carefully chew your food. Do not eat spicy, frozen food items. Avoid food items that have preservatives.

Food prepared with cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric and fennel as condiments are easily digested.

Home Remedies for Constipation

1. Try drinking a glass of warm water with 1 teaspoon of honey and the juice of half a lemon or lime in the morning before you eat or drink anything else.

2. Integrate raisins, figs, dates or prunes into your diet. They help you in relieving constipation.

3. Eat at least 350 grams of grapes each day. The combination of the properties contained in the grapes, namely cellulose, sugar and organic make it a natural laxative food and helps you in curing constipation.

4. Eat bael fruit. This is regarded as the best of all natural laxatives and it can also clean and tone up a person's intestines. Using it regular for 2 to 3 months will even help to get rid of old accumalated faecal matter.

5. Chewing a few sticks of liquorice (mulathi) each day is also beneficial as this is a natural laxative. It is a very useful remedy for constipation.

6. Just before going to bed, put 3 teaspoons of psyllium husk (Sat Isabgol) into a cup of warm milk or water and drink.

7. Substitute white rice with brown rice and have a fiber cereal in the morning.

8. Avoid food items that are overcooked, refrigerated, preserved or canned. Replace refined starch food items with whole grain food items.

Foods to Avoid in Constipation

There are many types of foods that cause constipation. You should limit or eliminate your intake of these foods in order to prevent the onset of constipation symptoms. While constipation can occur in anyone and is not a serious illness, repeated bouts of constipation can lead to more serious illnesses. Sometimes constipation is a side effect of a medication or illness. If you are taking the medication or suffer from an illness that may involve constipation as a symptom of the illness, you should try to avoid foods that make the risk of constipation higher.

Here are some common foods that cause constipation:

  • Milk
  • Cheese
  • Ice Cream
  • Chips
  • Pizza
  • Instant mashed potatoes
  • Pastries
  • Cakes
  • Cookies
  • Fried Foods
  • Processed Foods
  • Wheat-based Foods
  • Red Meat
  • Dried Beans

In order to help prevent constipation you should avoid or limit your intake of dairy products, foods that are high in fat content, foods that are high in cholesterol content, and processed foods. Prepared meals that come in boxes is one type of food that causes constipation.

Foods That Help Relieve Constipation

There are many foods for constipation prevention and the relief of the symptoms of constipation:

  • Bale fruit - cleans and tones intestines
  • Bran products - provides fiber to soften stools
  • Guava - provides needed roughage
  • Corn syrup - helps to soften stools
  • Sugar - helps to soften stools
  • Spices - such as cumin, coriander, turmeric powder, fennel, and asafetida makes food easier to digest
  • Apple Pectin - provide natural fiber
  • Folic Acid - insufficient intake of folic acid can cause constipation
  • Honey - natural form of sugar
  • Lemon juice - drink with warm water 2-3 times daily

Lots of water and lots of fiber is a good long-term solution to constipation. There are also many solutions that are fine for occassional use, but should not be over-used as they can compound the problem. These include many types of oral laxatives, suppossitories, stool softeners and more. There are a lot of tips for long- and short-term solutions to constipation here: http://www.best-constipation-cures.com/

Good one.The content says that milk can cause constipation. But people says that worm milk before going to bed at night helps to have proper motion in the morning.

It suddenly crept up on me; never experienced it. Quite painful to pass; tried lemon juice in hot tea, warm milk, 2 supposed herbal laxatives and it is slowly coming right, don;t want to force it. I agree that we get conflicting info.

Eat lots of RAW fruit and vegetables and try having a Green Smoothie. Look up Green smoothies in google.

Raw vegetables and fruit have a high nutrition value. Once cooked even lightly steamed you loose alot of its nutrition and can even make some veggies less healthier.

Hope this helps has worked wonders on me...

OK no offense to some of you but when I read a website looking for information I don't appreciate seeing comments that are rude and use dirty language. To those of you who may have tried these things and it does not work remember that somethings do not work for all and if you continue to have problems go see your doctor.

Consuelo (Puerto Rico) 2 years ago

No offense to Reba--but i have laughed my head off reading some of this...I guess it's better to take it lightly. What's not to be taken lightly is the worrying and anxiety you go through trying to deal with this problem. it is very troublesome. In my case i found out is caused by malfunction of the thyroid gland..., I think!!

honduhermosa 2 years ago

I agree with reba. Its not always going to work for everyone if it doesn't work for you then maybe its a bigger issue and you should go see your doctor. You don't have to insult the helpful information that is put out there because it works for most people. People need to stop being so rude.

most of the foods and drinks that are supposed to help you pass through your body i am not allowed, this is because, although im 18 i have already got kidney stones and a stomach ulcer. Is there any other solutions for y i am constipated? Could this be my drugs that i am on, stress or any other reasons. The items i cannot have are anything with citric acid in, anything that causes stomach acid, anything with lactose in (as im lactose intollerent) anything fizzy etc. I usually have a healthy diet but just wanted to no and understand how to reduce my constipation and to whether it is the antibiotics i am currently using for kidney stones.

im female and currently on duromine to lose weight, ever since i been on them, i get regular constipation. and it gets ot the point where i am to scared to go to the toilet because it really hurts., now since straining and straining i have a inner muscle or something down lower left side it hurts and aches, think its a muscle or nerve from straining. I am sick of not having a normal bowel system. i notice when i have bread i get it to. i eat salads and vegies mainly green vegies, broccolie, snow peas, zucchini. i have lean meats i always buy fresh fruit and vegies. im not a huge fruit person but i do eat, blueberries, strawberrys, and paw paw.

I suffered for 20 years with constipation. It was horrific. Once I went to the emergency room after not having had a bowel movement for nine days! Believe me I know. And I had tried every remedy possible. None worked for long, till I paid to find the LASTING solution. I'm giving it to you here free, because I want others to know the immense relief I have found! If every day you take 500 to 1,000 mg of magnesium (I buy Nature Life from Vitamin Shoppe, but you can purchase anywhere) This has vitamin B6 in it. Then add 1 50 mg tablet of P-5-P which is pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Again I get this from Vitamin Shoppe and use their brand. For the first week, it only worked sporadically. But afterward, you will know the bliss of no bloating, daily movement, sometimes even twice or three times daily in an effortless way. The freedom is amazing! I didn't believe this would work, but I stuck with it a few days and it was amazing. I am now doing just 500 mg a day and have perfect bowel movements. If you get out of whack, up the amount. I've found no side effects or problems associated with it. Also, if you are needing results and don't have this yet, when I went to the hospital, they gave me an enema of warm milk and molasses. Seriously! It didn't work the first hour very much, but oh man, in about a couple hours it really let loose! It does work! My only motivation, is to see others get the relief I did. My life is wonderful again. And I'm betting yours can be too! Blessings!

I have had severe constipation since I was born.

Whenever I pass one it cuts the skin and I bleed horribly!

I have tried everything possible trust me. My doctor says there is nothing else I can try!

When I was in hospital last year to get my appendix out I didn't pass one for almost four weeks. I had to do it and it reopened the already there scars and I bled like a firehose!

Please help me.

Hi, here is a bit more on what brings constipation on and some naturals ways of treating it.

The most important causes for chronic constipation are wrong diet and a faulty style of living. All foods in their natural state contain a good percentage of ‘ropughage’ which is most essential in preserving natural balance of foods and also in helping peristalsis - the natural rhythmic action by means of which the food is passed down the alimentary canal. Much of the food we eat today is very deficient in natural bulk or roughage and this results in chronic constipation. Intake of refined and rich food lacking in vitamins and minerals, insufficient intake of water, consumption of meat in large quantities, excessive use of strong tea and coffee, insufficient chewing, overeating and wrong combination of foods, irregular habits of eating and drinking may all contribute to poor bowel function. Other causes include faulty and irregular habit of defeacation, frequent use of purgatives, weakness of abdominal muscles due to sedentary habits, lack of physical activity and emotional stress and strain.

Diseases such as tumours or growths, a sluggish liver, colitis, spastic condition of the intestine, hyperacidity, diseases of the rectum and colon, bad teeth, uterine diseases, diabetes, use of certain drugs for treating other ailments, abnormal condition of the lower spine and enlargement of the prostate glands can also cause chronic constipation.

The most important factor in curing constipation is a natural and simple diet. This should consist of unrefined food such as whole grain celerals, bran, honey, molasses, and lentills; green and leafy vegetables, especially spinach, french beans, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels, sprouts, celery, turnip, pumpkin, peas, beets, asparagus, carrot; fresh fruits, especially pears, grapes, figs, papayas, mangoes, grapefruit, gooseberries, guava and oranges ; dry fruits such as figs, raisins, apricots and dates ; milk products in the form of butter, ghee and cream.

The diet alone is not enough. Food should be properly chewed-each morsel for at least 15 times. Hurried meals and meals at odd times should be avoided. Sugar and sugary foods should be strictly avoided because sugar steals B vitamins from the body, without which the intestines cannot function normally. Foods which constipate are all products made of white flour, rice, bread, pulses, cakes, pastries, biscuits, cheese, fleshy foods, preserves, white sugar and hard-boiled eggs.

nice advice but lots of problem. most of you conclude that constipation is mainly caused by lack of fiber in the diet. so you suggest people eat more fruits and more serials. if this was the case then Eskimos and some amazon tribes should be dead by now from chronic constipation. reducing fat and increasing carbs is a disaster of the body. carbs are not essential while fats are. you can live much better without carbs or with very small quantities of them. fiber does to the body what wester medicine drugs do as well. they dont activate the body to respond to the problem and solve it. they try to solve the problem, causing all shorts of side effects. so if you add lots of fiber to your daily diet you will not solve the problem but you will become captive from the fiber and the laxatives .Also that monster they advertise as Mediterranean diet has got nothing to do with Mediterranean diet. if you search what Cretans used to eat 100-200 years ago you will see that starch was not there. fish, red meat, lots of olive oil ,dairy, eggs , vegetables and some fruits.

in conclusion before suggesting fiber as the solution you should first check to see who advertises it as a solution too. if brands like kellogg and nestle do then you can be sure that this will cause more problems then it will solve, as a diet rich in carbs and low in fat will.

After I had my baby I had the worst case of constipation, my bowel was so impacted that I was having contractions in my backside, way more painful than any labour pains ( I've had four kids so I know!)

In the end after living in the bath in purest agony, drinking concentrated prune juice, orange juice, prunes, 6 enemas, fibregel, pints of warm water, coffee, the only thing that worked was having a poor nurse shove her entire arm up my backside and removing some of the blockage. tmi I know :-)still had to go through another three days of bleeding and pain til it was over...my advice, watch out for codeine or any codeine based pain relief ( its bad for constipation!)drink plenty and don't let it get too far witha doctor, it CAN get worse.

Rich 19 months ago

Lactolose is great, its very very very sweet, like drinking pure sugar, so have another drink to hand if you don't like sweet things as this could make you feel a little sicky. To anyone going through this right now, remember it will end. I had constipation most of my life til I found out I am allergic to dairy and most meats. I'm now a very contented soya milk drining veggie and my constipation stopped almost immediately. fresh veg every day, fresh fruit, 8 glasses of water, and tons of cereal with plenty of fibre keeps me constant and has changed my pain ridden life. Hope this helps people.

I have been a vegetarian 40+ years, yet, i suffer from constipation with the best of them. I think it is a heredidtary contition. Yes, i juice frequently, eat plenty of salads and fresh fruit but the curse is still with me. For a while, eating 2 meals a day-no snacks, ,made me regular and blissfully happy, until one night, the urge for popcorn, threw me off kilter again.

Good luck to all and please, do not despair

Constipation cure 15 months ago

In certain cases constipation is a symptom of some under-lying severe disorder. The disorder can be chronic cancer, depression, spinal chord trauma, Diverticulitis etc. In such cases a medical examination is imperative. When there is such an under lying problem involved, then symptoms like blood traces in the stools, abdominal pain, vomiting and constipation persisting till two weeks arise.

Wow, I'm so sorry for some of the posts I've read, thanks for sharing...it's great to know that I'm not alone. I've been doing enema's for 2 years. No side effects that I've noticed, and I feel great. I have not addressed whatever the underlying problem is however, so have decided to work on diet and add fiber in; have lost 20 pounds in 2 years, so now my stomach is almost flat and I feel better (not bloated or achy like before) but still have acheys in my right side (issues with digestion I think) so take enymes for that...it's only if I eat too much "standard diet" food, if I eat good, no aches. I would like to know if anyone has a system to get "off" enemas and transitioning to a normal elimination w/o the stimulus of the enema...

Once you are not constipated, you should realize that this is only a temporary state, unless you make radical changes to your diet.

Also, if you are overweight, chances are you will be carrying around a lot of impacted fecal matter in your colon. I won't go into the dangers of this, but believe me, you do not want to do that.

I suggest that you do a colon cleanse at least once per year. This will help you to clean your colon really well. After that, you can stick to a very good diet of good foods. TO help, just do a search online for 2 things:

1. Foods that cause constipation

2. Foods that prevent constipation.

All the best,

I've been drinking gallons of water, eating lots of vegetables, as ordered by my diet, been drinking hot tea with honey every day for the last two weeks. Then all of the sudden out of nowhere, I can't take a dump. It's been two days and I don't feel good. Any advice?

saket agarwal 14 months ago

follow this nd u ll be alright. any kind of constipation.

treat it in a harmless way. dont use allopaths.

i 've been constipated from childhood but sum days b4 it reached on extreme. i bought non-allopathics like HAMDARD'S SHARBAT ARZANI (for dry stools), SHETH BROTHER'S KAYAM CHURAN (most effective on stools), & HIMALAYA'S TRIPHALA (its a colon cleanser). i tried these in many ways but i m going to tell u the effective formula of using it.

take SHARBAT ARZANI (its a liquid, very tasty) 7 teaspoonful with warm or warmer enough glass of water about 300ml (it is very important that the water should'nt be cold or it wont effect at all). dont take with juice or other thing.

Nothing will happen next day, dont worry. repeat 2nd night, nothing will happen again. 3rd night use KAYAM CHURAN 3 teaspoonfull with warm glass of water 300ml (its taste is bizarre for the beginners but if u cant tolerate, take at least 2 anyhow, u want to get cured or not?). it contain senna leaves which is a dynamite for the stools. if u cant get it than try to get any other laxative which should contain senna leaves. i've heard about LAXIWIN of baidyanath's also but did'nt tried it. or u should get only senna extract anyhow if u cant find them.

next day u'll see its holy effect. if bychance nothing happens just drink a glass of warm water and eat sumthing like an apple or drink orange juice. if nothing happens dont be afraid .try again in night 3 teaspoonfull with warm water. it will surely work i guarantee u. after doing shit, when u finished it feeling it's not coming now take a TRIPHALA CAPSULE. after some hours take half teaspoon of cinnamon powder. now start taking SHARBAT ARZANI at night. if its not going to be regular. try again KAYAM CHURAN next night. kayam churan should not be used every night bcas ur system will get used to of it which is not a good thing bcas senna has side effects of cramping ur internal system, not much but little.

during this whole process ur diet should be lots of papaya, spinach saag or any green vegie methi, bathua etc., some mausmi juice, daliya, 1 or 2 chapati with moong dal can be taken in bf,lunch or dinner.avoid taking dry vagies.

repeat the process again & again until ur cured. its completely harmless. it may take 6-7 days. when u r normal ur prime obj should be to make it regular.

take sharbat arzani every night and triphala 1 capsule daily. add papaya, mausmi or orange juice, vegies in ur daily diet. after some time ull be able to consume any kind of food nd ur intestines will automatically throw out thats how it should be. remember dont lose hope. use the process again & again. duration of its effect may vary but it works.

Hi,

I've also been suffering from constipation since birth.Fibrous diet never worked for me.After doing a lot of research I found that having lots of butter or ghee with everything you have makes you get rid of constipation no matter what you have.But avoiding stuffs made of flour is advisable ,else top them up with lots of butter.This should work as it worked for me!Sometimes fibrous diet causes more constipation as it happened in my case.... don't know why?Also drink plenty of water.I also found that change of place also helps sometimes as the water changes.Hard water worsens the problem.Hope this helps....GOOD LUCK.

Anna_J 11 months ago

I hope I can help, as so many of you out there, I've suffered pain and constipation for years, and I got to such a point where I was so desperate I was really frigtened. Normal advice, including Doctor's just didn't work for me so I did everything I could to search for answers myself, and tried heaps of remedies online, from juice mixtures to enema's to everything, but nothing worked!

And yes, I eat a lot of fibre, fruit and vegies,water,exercise etc. so understand what everyone is saying when that doesn't work for some, some of us for various reasons need drastic help!!!

I have Two tips (or remedies)that practically saved my life. (Seriously, I would be very sick today if I hasn't been told about these). And after years/months of trying various pharmaceutical methods, mixtures and enema's and every laxative available, I was CERTAIN NOTHING WOULD EVER WORK!!!! BECAUSE NOTHING EVER HAS!

I sopke to a pharacist who told me her daughter had the same problem, after I began buying packets of salt mixtures that people use to clean themselves out before they go into hospital for a Colonoscopy. (warning- these do not work properly) I was desperate and was thinking i'd have to book a professional Colon cleansing treatment. (In the emergency room, the doctor's were so dismissive & also made me feel very humiliated, and I was in so much pain, bloated and really blocked up!)

Anyway, this pharmacist told me about two products that CURED her daughter (I was so dubious) but if I hadn't tried them a year ago, I'm SURE I'd have developed SERIOUS PROBLEMS by now, this is NOT A CONDITION TO TAKE LIGHTLY-NEVER LET ANYONE CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE! I was so sure I'd develop bowel Cancer, or else die of the pain.

PLEASE, PLEASE TRY THESE- THEY ARE A CURE FOR ME- AND IF IT WORKED FOR ME! IT WILL HELP ANYONE!

1. DIETER'S NUTRI-LEAF HERBAL TEA. (herbal Laxative tea)

Please don't dismiss this like I did at first!!!! I BEGAN BY DRINKING THIS TWICE A DAY & COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH IT WORKED- PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY! It may cause bad cramps at first, but after a few weeks, if you have a cup every morning, you will go NORMALLY. I never miss it! Contact NUTRI HEALTH FOOD CENTRE, EMAIL:info@nutrihealthfood.com.au, www.nutrihealthfood.com.au or if in australia ph: (03) 9543 7772. In australia, it's sold in Health food stores and is in a green packet with black writing. I pay $12.99 for 30 teabags....and it's VERY POPULAR- NOT FOR DIETING, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE RELY ON IT. the ingredients are all listed in the website, but it DOES WORK.

2. I also was advised to start taking a Colon cleanse called COLOCAP Balance-because this works long-term, drawing fluid INTO the intestines, and training the muscles etc. to work again. I need this just as much as the Tea, but less often once you're unblocked and finally getting back to normal. I'm sure this product would be available in the USA, http://www.colocappharma.com/ please try it!

If you've suffered years of constipation, this may take a week or more before it begins to work, but when it does work, the relief is unbelievable, and more importantly, it works PROPERLY-NOT SUPERFICIALLY. (i'll paste some info below).

hope this helps- don't give up!

Anna

Colocap Balance™ is an innovative concept in the area of bowel health.

Colocap Balance™ capsules contain Magnesium Sulfate as an active ingredient. Both the Magnesium and the Sulfate in Magnesium Sulfate draw water into the intestines, making it a powerful saline laxative which aids in flushing waste from the body.

Saline laxatives do not directly stimulate intestinal muscles, but act by gently washing the colon and flushing waste from the body.

Colocap Balance™ offers you an innovative formulation of concentrated Magnesium Sulfate, dried and encapsulated to give you an easy-to-take and palatable natural laxative.

best thing i had read about constipation

Accasia 11 months ago

There is definately hope!

I have been going through everything that everyone has experienced with constipation. The best way I can describe my constipation is like the pain of not just trying to push out a rock or a dozen hard sharp rocks but the discomfort, bloated feeling you feel. I have been using Dieter's Nutri - Leaf Herbal Tea for about 2 months. It works so well. It is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I had cramping at first and sometimes still do. I drink it at night and it works by morning. I hope everyone gives the Tea a go. It is such a relief.

To help with the cramping I get I use BUSCOPAN - over the counter relief for stomach cramps and spasms. It has Hyoscine Butylbromide in it. Hospitals use it for stomach/pelvic pain as well.

I realised I don't have to suffer from constipation and pain and I realised eating fiber and a healthy diet isn't just the answer!

I ordered and tried COLOCAP Balance just yesterday (after reading the advice posted by Anna). Thank you Anna, it has already begun working and the pharmacy told me it would help regulate everything more normally. I thought I was the only one drinking the Herbal Tea, but the Health food shop told me alot of people use it also. I'm so glad it gives you the most needed relief as it does for me! I am so glad you gave the information about Colocap.

From a very relieved person.

After a weightlifting injury, I developed an anal fissure. Hard stools kept the fissure from healing. I made some major changes in my diet this week that have really softened my stools and kept the fissure from re-tearing. Here's what I added to my diet:

-I eliminated soda and am drinking at least 48 oz. of water a day.

-Lots of nuts - at least a half of a can of almonds, cashews, and macadamia nuts per day.

-I eat a fruit salad eat night at dinner, and I've added a heaping tablespoon of shredded coconut to that salad.

-For breakfast, and organic oat bran oatmeal. Once it's cooked, I add a heaping tablespoon of wheat bran.

-I eliminated cheese from my diet (which was painful!)

I don't know which element of the diet is working the best to really soften the stool (I think the hard amount of nuts is helping the most) but combined, I'm not having any issues with the fissure re-tearing.

I also take one hot sitz bath each night, 2-3 stool softeners, and use some natural healing oil meant to treat fissures. (These three things alone weren't helping without the diet changes.)

I hope someone else can make these changes and see some benefits.

Eating fruit & exercise is important. Also you might want to try praying, to see if there is a deeper reason for your infirmity. Repent & make amends on God's terms, & that's the fastest way to be cured! However sometimes God allows us to experience problems.2 CORINTHIANS 12:Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

constipation remedies

hangal 8 months ago

GUARANTEED HOME REMEDY MOST EFFECTIVE :-

every night take 2 teaspoonful of sat isabgol (psyllium husk)with warm enough water or milk,,,,i recommend water nd sleep. in morning,,,,drink a cup of tea (acc. 2 me tea helps to force it),,,90 % chance it'll came out easily,,,,,,,,wait for 1/2 an hour,,by chance if doesnt,,,,,here is a trick,,,,,,drink plenty of room temperature water until it comes 2 ur neck,,,,wait a min,,,,,burps,,,,leave those airs,,,,,than drink again fill upto the neck,,,,wait again to burp,,,than fill again iff there's some margin. drink as much as u can nd see its impact ur self,,,, it will throw ur stool out wid a tremandous force guaranteed. the logic is psyllium makes smooth stool packets nd water makes it more smooth.

CAUTION :- no need 2 use xpensive husks,,,buy as cheapest as u get i recommend SAT ISABGOL of sidhpur.

dont use psyllium husks if having colitis problem,,,,,it will make it worse,,,,,bware.

iff very chronic constipation,,,, dont take psyllium husk,,,,1st take KAYAM CHURAN ( a senna product) or any senna product 1st 2 days,,,,,it will throw ur stools out then start taking psyllium nd make it routine,,,,,,,it's totally safe. dont use senna products regular bcas harmful on intestines.

I used to have severe constipation. But even since I've been taking Psyllium Husk (in a powder form) but you can get capsules, I am no longer constipated and go to the toilet every day without fail (sometimes up to 3 times a day without and straining or pain). It may not work for everyone, but certainly worth a try as it's best to solve the problem long term and have a 'normal' poo every day rather than going through one off cleanses you have to take as drastic measures once you get all blocked up and constipated. I also eat prunes every day and drink lots of water. Hope this helps!

i get constipated really badley but i eat fruit and chocolatates and it gets better. i have been constipated for a week before now. i take some tablets called senokot tablets which really help. Drink water with it and take two before bed and about mid-day try to go. It worked for me! If it works don't take anymore as you will get used to them and then you won't be able to go poo without them so try to go poo alone. if you don't go for two days take them again e.t.c. It also helps to be at home and it might take along time hours may be but be patient. Drink orange juice and water and fizzy drinks non-stop. hope this helps.

Pineapple, paw paw, kiwi fruit, pears, figs, prune juice, prunes, papaya and water works great! I've been constipated for about a year, off and on, sometimes not constipated for up to 7 days. I tried Psyllium husk drink in the morning and then one or two types of the above fruits with water and for about 2 months I've been going to the toilet twice a day EVERY day! It's been such a relief. Figs are great. I'd say give it a go especially the pineapple. And drink abot 1.5 to 2 litres of water throughout the day!

I think different things will work for different people - it depends on the individual and best to give everything a go. I'm going to try Movicol. At the moment I'm trying prune juice (works well), eat figs every day, pears and paw paw! Also drink warm water with lemon! I have to change it from time to time as I get used to it!

My mom keeps getting mad at me for this and I can't really help in me it's mostly because I don't poop and a regular basis but she keeps getting mad I ussally use this chocolate thing she gives me but I just don't want to tell her this time cause it's happened so many times what is the easiest thing to do?

Accasia 7 weeks ago

I used to use chocolate laxative but it's not a cure for constipation. Have you tried different suggestions on this website Koolkat? Warm water with lemon in it, eating fruits such as pears, figs, paw paw, kiwi fruit or prune juice? Maybe you could tell your Mum to have a look at this website so she understands a bit better that other people are going through it as well and you're not the only one.

onewhoisbungedup! 7 weeks ago

I have been constipated for 7 days now. Not been bothered with constipation for ages. I usually take a mouthful of Syrup of Figs and it manages to move it. I also take an Aloe Vera tablet every day from Holland & Barrett. But recently I ate one carryout after another for about a whole week and never ate healthy at all. Fatty and unhealthy and red meat. NOT A GOOD COMBINATION!! Im sitting at home cause Im constipated. Had to go to the dr about it. I have tried everything ie a whole bottle of syrup of figs, a whole box of Fybogel, nearly 20 aloe vera tablets, a dulcolax tablet (which are usually very painful laxative), loads of water need I say more!! I still havent been. So, the dr gave me senokot tablets and lactulose to take. so over the last two days I have taken six senokot tablets and half a bottle of lactulose and still NOTHING!!! I can feel gurgling in my stomach but still nothing ... I dont feel well now and am desperate to go ... its funny how it makes you feel sooo unwell. Any help other than prune juice people?? I need a fix straight away :-(

hi all for those ladies who tend to get it pre period i myself have founf that taking vitabiotics well woman vits helped me a great deal i have read before that its due to the hormone changes and these level out hormones so i prusume this is why they helped but i do beleive drinking water and trying to eat a good diet is vital but not always east to stick too.

fuck 3 hours ago

I have had this problem for a long time. I am 22 years old, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, veggies, fiber, water, etc. My constipation is so bad that I once went without a bowel movement for a month and week. I've worked at a health food store for over 3 years so i am very well versed in natural remedies and laxatives. I'm reading people on this site complaining of being constipated for a day and think to myself "if they only knew". I began using Acidophilus Probiotic pearls that worked pretty well for about 3 months. They stopped working. I started using triphala capsules recently which worked the first time but never again. I even up'ed the dosage, still nothing. Bought aloe vera juice because i heard it "lubricated the large intestine" and people posted on different message boards about how it solved all their problems. I can't tell how well it is working, but it seemed to help a tiny bit. I try to drink coffee because it used to kick start the bowels but that stopped working as well. I sometimes uses Organic Smooth Move tea. The main ingredient is Senna, also some fennel, cinnamon, licorice, etc. It is the only thing that works so far. It still doesn't work on me as it does for other people who are occasional constipated, it just gets a little out for me. The only problem is that senna is linked to dependency, meaning your body can get reliant on the herb and eventually you wont be able to go to the bathroom with out, just like over the counter laxatives. I am very nervous of my condition because it is starting to effect the quality of my life. i know it sounds dramatic but the discomfort of living with constipation is greatly underestimated. I am constantly fatigued and sleep almost 12 hours a day, I wake up in a bad mood, feeling tired and bloated. when poked, my stomach makes a gurgling sound as if the stool is just sitting in there. When i finally have a bowel movement as result of the tea, i lose up to 5 pounds. I think it is time to go see a gastroenterologist, because is seems that there may be a very serious, underlying problem.
