Being pregnant I face this problem quite often. Get prunes. Don't eat to many. I made that mistake not knowing just how effective they would be. Eat 2-4. trust me they kick in. coffee always does the trick with me. drink plenty of water if you donlt mind water, Stay away from bananas,rice, apples and toast as well as
cheese. These are all binding foods. I worked in a hospital as a cook and prep chef. For the older residents we would make a special mixture for constipation...1 cup bran flakes, 1/4 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup prune juice and a dash of cinnomen.(applesauce is for taste)mix together (taste better then it sounds) don't eat it all at once. try a tablespoon or two

Why are you constipated. Do you take medications or drugs. A lot of them can be constipating, including smoking pot.
The best thing to do is eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, fiber, wheat cereal, or oat with dates and prunes. Beans are a good source of fiber also. Drink prune or apple juice.
Find out what is causing you to be constipated, too. Finding the cause could be the cure.
It is best not to use over-the-counter laxatives, they can make you dependent.

You may not notice the effect instantly, but you'll see that you body will adjust normally and you'll never be constipated anymore! And you'll be healthier and looking good!

Your spouse desires a solid balanced weight loss application - that's all properly asserting a great sort of fruit etc yet fibre, fruit, supplementations, maximum mandatory is to drink a lot of water. Bulk in the caecum absorbs water to have the potential to moisten and lubricate the stool to evacuate. whether, that doesnt help immediately. She could desire to bypass to her gp, ideally he could desire to prescribe 2 varieties of enemas, and an oral laxative. the 1st is an arachas oil enema (warning - this includes peanut oil) and that's going to receive at night time. her legs her physique could desire to be somewhat tilted if accessible legs up, head down (examine which includes your GP incase of any reason she shouldn't do this ie historic previous of concepts haemmorage, intense blood rigidity...) the reason i propose tilting is so as that the enema can attain the utmost area of the bowel. in the morning, the stool could desire to by using then be lubricated by using the arachas oil enema, so around 8 am she could desire to take the phosphate enema. Lie on the mattress for a on an identical time as untill she is extremely wanting to apply the bathroom. meanwhile, she could desire to take night and morning for an afternoon or so the oral laxative which includes senna or lactulose. i'm hoping this could paintings for her, yet do not use the laxatives as quickly as she has controlled to evaCUate the stool by way of fact the bowel will start to alter into lazy with continual use of aperients. After this extreme bout has cleared, initiate a solid balanced weight loss application and as i pronounced drink 2 - 3 litres of water according to day. If she will become constipated sooner or later - which all of us do at sometime - a curry and stable long intercourse could desire to do the trick.
