1 Try the "P-fruits that make you poop:" Peaches, pears, plums, prunes, and apricots, canned in heavy syrup. The syrup makes the fruits especially sweet and delicious, and it draws water into the intestines to soften things up.
2 Add fiber to your diet, with fresh whole fruits and vegetables, whole wheat bread, and bran-rich cereals
3 Try cutting down on dairy products, or cut them out altogether. Cow's milk slows down the intestines in some, setting them up for constipation
4 Give yourself time on the toilet. The best time (when the intestines are normally most active) is about 10 -15 minutes after eating
5 Before you go for more uncomfortable remedies, such as mineral oil, pills, or enemas, talk with your doctor. Any serious stomach pain that comes on suddenly needs a medical evaluation. For nagging, repeating stomach aches (which may well be caused by constipation), the path to comfort can be a long one. It often helps greatly to have an experienced guide

If you want a really quick remedy then try glycerine suppositories, works in minutes. Otherwise senna will work overnight. Best thing though is to avoid it in the first place by drinking at least 1.5 litres of fluid a day and eating lots of fibre such as bran, friut and veggies.

hi Sally, the project is that even as your stool remains on your rectum, your body keeps pulling more beneficial moisture out of it, and it receives dryer and harder. If the urge to flow isn't genuine good, get some over the counter stool softener like Ducolax and enable it artwork. eat a set of sparkling fruit and flow for a short stroll to stimulate the intestines to push issues alongside. you could also %. up a house enema kit at any drug shop... only stick with the instructions and which will relax maximum obdurate stools. If the urge to flow is sweet, and also you favor to get to the bottom of this immediately, and the above strategies are sensible, you could attempt some abode treatments... in case you do not have medical gloves at abode, get some, or call a pal in healthcare to deliver you some. Wash your fingers particularly properly earlier and after, and trim your fingernails first, and document them tender. you could take some KY jelly, or a touch liquid cleansing soap, coat your finger with it, and gently insert it into the rectum about an inch. Use the KY or cleansing soap (even butter can artwork) to lubricate the anal go out. this may help the not user-friendly stool bypass out more beneficial effectual. If it truly is not sufficient, back insert your finger till you experience the not user-friendly stool interior. gently destroy it up which includes your finger, and then attempt some lube around the contained in the anus back... you should repeat this some circumstances. in case you spot any bleeding, supply up! i recognize that should not be your popular answer, even if it truly is something we nurses ought to do on social gathering even as different issues fail, or time is short. best of success, Ed, RN

Colase is a stool softner that is cheap and readily available. It is not a laxative..eat more fruit and vegies and drink more water..but then an ol'timer would have heard all this before...a High fat meal might also do the trick...accompanied by prunes of course.

Prune juice takes about two hours. If you hate prune juice like I do, try dried apricots. Always works for me and I just had a baby so I know this horrible situation.

Lots of fresh fruit, or a vindaloo might get things moving. The fruit is the healthiest option though.
