Resolved Question

Is there any remedy for frequent constipation?

i m suffering from frequent constipation it returns every 3 days once and i have to face real problem in the loo. pain, blood fissures and for this constipation i consulted the general physician, she prescribed me a laxative syrup but nothing helped me out. I ve a 2 month old boy baby and i m feeding him. is that because of feeding? Daily i take an apple one banana lots of vegetables. and i avoid meat, chicken and sea foods cos they use to give constipation problem before pregnancy. i use cream to heal and laxative suppository for regular motion. it would be helpful if u knew anything for this painful thing!

I have a lot of digestive problems and food intolerances, and the best remedy I've found for constipation is psyllium husk. It's natural, it can be taken as pills or powder (great to mix into smoothies) and unlike most things I've tried it actually works and doesn't make me bloated.

• Discovering the cause will help you find the appropriate remedy. Here are the common problems that lead to constipation.
  
  - Poor dietary habits.
  - Lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle.
  - Lack of fiber in your diet
  
  The solution is...
  
  - Eat high fiber diet
  - Eliminate sugar and white flour from your diet
  - Add some of the essential fats, such as omega 3 or omega 6 (fish)
  - Avoid constipating foods and drinks, such as white flour, cheese, fried foods, sweets, salt, beef, pasteurized milk, all junk food, wine, carbonated drinks, and coffee
  - Milk may be the culprit because it tends to replace other solids in the diet
  
  The Most Common Remedy Is Prune Juice. Jucing in general is a great way to eliminate toxins from the body and get the systems of the body going again.

• Perhaps also eat fruits like pineapple, as much of it as you like, that plus beans,lentils, oatmeal ( as a blender drink with fruits, or as cereal ) bran cereal,( with bananas and soy milk). In fact, if you are eating dairy foods, to alleviate the condition, you might want to consider switching to soy milks or other soy foods ( the drinks from the supermarket are very tasty ).Milk thistle, available in capsule form, when taken as directed, should provide relief too. This herb is also good for liver health. Are you currently on a med that has constipation as a side effect ? If so, you may want to find an alternative.
• You have to increase your fiber and water intake.Bananas make you constipated so i would stop those for now. They make alot of good fiber bars that you can just get in grocery store, but you have have have to drink alot of water with any fiber or it will make you constipated, try and eat more veggies, not just fruit. If you use suppository too much your muscles will be used to it and you will be dependant on them, try the increase of fiber and alot of water, alot
• fruit juice fasting with lots of water for 1 week will do wonders.
  All the built up waste will be removed and you can start refreshed, just remember after your clean out to eat lots of fruits and vegetables - natures way. fibre supplements are only a temporary cure and not good long term. Clean yourself out with a lemon juice fast then start working on a natural clean diet.

• Fiber and water are key to remedy constipation.
  If you eat cereal there are many high fiber cereals that taste good out on the market. Raisin Bran, Fiber One, etc. Just read the label for grams of fiber. Remember to drink your 8 glasses of water a day.
  Hope you feel better soon!

  prunes help.
• I can really empathise here ... my constipation problems seem to come and go but when they are bad, they are bad. Like you I am getting into lots of fruit and taking those Activa yoghurts .... and I now take those orange high fibre drinks that seem to help a tad. I have also tried normal Sennakot tablets and they help but obviously are not to be used to excess. Apart from that I am into strict habits like trying to go at the same every day to train the bowel into a routine. One of the problems with constipation is that is results from hard fibrous matter blocking the canal when routine is not kept ... also drink lots of water. And try and avoid stress which I believe is a big factor in being 'anally retentive'. The other thing I find useful is 'Colax' Aloe vera tablets .. or indeed any Aloe Vera digestive products. These tend to lubricate the digestive tract and help move things along. The only other thing is to allow loads of time in the loo .... tension and time limits can never help!
• Stop the apple, increase banana intake. Apple causes constipation, avoid spices. Do Mooladhara chakra Shuddhi, and Swadhistana Chakra Shuddhi. These are two micro yogic exercises.
  Method: Stand straight with two legs together, hands rest hanging on both sides. Keep the feet in V shape. Tighten both the thighs and try to pull the anus inside as much as possible and keep it in that position for 30 seconds. Release it slowly. Keep the legs 4 inches apart. Keep the same thing with feet one foot apart. This time pull both the anus and the genetials in. Do all the three exercises one time only once in a day. Gradually can be raised upto 5 times in a day. This will ensure smooth expulsion of bowels, good urine output, positioning of the uterus, remove itching and other problems in the area. Keep the system clean and many other benefits.
  
  There are too many medicines in homeopathy for cure of constipation and fissures. You need to see a doctor. As a safe medicine I would suggest Bryonia 30 for constipation and Chelidonium Q . use three times a day as tonic for liver which mostly is responsible for the constipation of the kind you are suffering from.
  If there is cutting pain and burning in the anus after stools, use Nitric Acid 1 M one single dose. One dose is just one globule.
  Medicines should be used in consultation with a doctor. with best wishes.
