Eat more fruit and vegetables. These high fiber foods bulk up stool making it easier to pass.
Drink lots of fluids (water is best), this helps to make stool softer.
Get adequate sleep
Eat meals at regular times. Breakfast is the most important.
Exercise regularly. Do exercises which can increase the tone of lower abdominal and pelvic muscles.
Do not ignore the urge to have a bowel movement because you are too busy.
Allow time (15 min. at least) after breakfast to sit on the toilet. Relax and don't strain.
Avoid medications that are constipating if at all possible. Calcium, iron and narcotic analgeseics are just a few of these.
Do not take harsh laxatives unless directed by a doctor.
Add additional bulk to the diet with bran.
Cut back on dairy foods such as cheese, and on eggs which can be constipating.
Practice relaxation techniques. Stress can cause constipation.
Consider adding more fiber to your diet when traveling. Changes in routine can cause constipation.
If constipation is a new problem and persists, you should follow-up with your doctor.
If constipation is accompanied by abdominal pain or blood in the stool you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
If you alter between diarrhea and constipation you should see a doctor and be evaluated.

Answer 5

The main thing in treating constipation is to be sure you're eating enough fiber and drinking enough fluids. This helps your stools move through your intestines by increasing the bulk of your stools and making your stools softer. Increasing how much you exercise will also help.

Talk to your family doctor if you notice any blood in your stools, if constipation is new and unusual for you, if you're constipated for 3 weeks or more, or if you're in pain.

Laxatives should usually be avoided. They aren't meant for long-term use. An exception to this is bulk-forming laxatives.

Bulk-forming laxatives work naturally to add bulk and water to your stools so that they can pass more easily through your intestines. Bulk-forming laxatives can be used every day. They include oat bran, psyllium (one brand: Metamucil), polycarbophil (one brand: FiberCon) and methylcellulose (one brand: Citrucel).
You must use bulk-forming laxatives daily for them to work. Follow the directions on the label. Start slowly and drink plenty of fluids. Gradually increase how much you use every 3 to 5 days (as you get used to it) until you get the effect you want.

You can help bulk-forming laxatives taste better by mixing them with fruit juice.
You may notice some bloating, gas or cramping at first, especially if you start taking too much or increase the amount you're using too quickly. These symptoms should go away in a few weeks or less.
Mineral oil should generally be used only when your doctor recommends them, such as if you've just had surgery and shouldn't strain to have a bowel movement. Mineral oil shouldn't be used regularly. If it is used regularly, it can cause deficiencies of vitamins A, D, E and K.
