The cheapest remedy is old fashioned prunes and prune juice,but you could also use any dried fruit,they are high fiber and promote bowel movements.

If you need something stronger

the Herbs Senna and Casca sagrada help contract your intestines and make you go to the bathroom,you can get a tea called smoothe move at the healthfood store that contains senna.

And if you still need help,

an at home enema,or making an appointment for a colonic can help move things along.


make sure to talk to your doc

• These methods will sound weird, but trust me. One idea is to smoke a cigarette. I'm not saying you should to start to smoke a pack a day, or even become a regular smoker, but it can help relax muscles and encourage a bowl movement. Dr. Pepper also seems to help for some odd reason, even when laxatives do not. Finally, and don't be grossed out, but manual anal stimulation gets the job done. It can be done in the evenings with lubricant and a bath, and will get things moving. Some daily use constipation meds can carry other weird side effects, so I'd try some other stuff before committing.
• Magnesium can help..it has helped me when i wasn't even trying..
