It's amazing to me that anyone can be constipated. There are so many greasy foods out there that move things along and fast. Milk is a natural laxative. Hot wings, fast foods, chinese food, salomi...all give people a quick trip to the powder room. Maybe you're trying too many things simultaneously and too many different things. When you try a lot of them and over time your body gets lazy. Have you tried exercising?

Eat smaller meals throughout the day. Don't go to bed on a really full stomach. Avoid caffeine and your starchy foods. And yes drink lots of fluids, exercise. And eat your fruits and veggies. Reduce the stress in your life it can tense you up and that tenses up the bowels too. I have reflux also. I Take zelnorm too and I have not taken a pill for almost a month. I am maintaining real well. IBS made me so sick I thought I was dying. Feel so much better now. Also, find what foods bother you most and avoid them.

For a quick fix try drinking coffee or something with caffeine. But your diet is probably to blame. Eat more digestible fiber from fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water. And exercise helps too liking running.

I have IBS.....the other version......But on those rare occassions when i'm constipated drinking alot of water helps and drinking a glass of warm prune juice. I know it sounds gross and it doesn't taste all that great but it does work.

have you had your thyroid tested? If low, which is common by the way, you'd be very constipated. have it tested and see what changes you can make. until then drink lots of fluids all the tim e
