Answer 1

Constipation can be the result of a number of circumstances, including:
Lack of fiber or fluids in the diet

Lack of exercise or prolonged inactivity

Failure to move the bowels when the urge
strikes. (This can lead to impaction and hardening of stools.)

Overuse of aspirin, laxatives, or some antacids

Certain medical disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diabetes, high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia), sluggish thyroid (hypothyroidism), or colorectal cancer

Certain medications, including narcotic pain relievers, antidepressants, and drugs used for high blood pressure

Severe depression, which is often associated with a loss of appetite and a low level of physical activity.

Constipation in itself is not serious, and can easily be remedied by dietary changes and other measures.

How Supplements Can Help

Start with a daily dose of psyllium powder, ground flaxseed, oat bran, or ground fenugreek seeds mixed into water or juice. All provide the fiber necessary to soften stools and make them easier to pass. Be sure to take these supplements with plenty of water, and check to see if your stools become "floaters."

Prune juice (as well as dried prunes, figs, and raisins) is also a good source of fiber, and a gentle enough stimulant to use with other supplements daily. Senna, a mildly stimulating herbal laxative, can be used in cases where the prunes or other fruit are not strong enough.

A tea made from dandelion root, which stimulates your natural bile production from the liver, is known to have a mild laxative effect.

Vitamin C, in doses of 3,000 mg a day (more or less), serves as a gentle laxative. In fact, as doses of vitamin C are slowly increased, almost everyone will eventually develop loose stools. If you have a medical condition for which vitamin C is recommended, the reduction of constipation may be a beneficial side effect of the supplement program for the other condition.

Likewise, a deficiency of the mineral magnesium can lead to constipation. If you have other conditions that suggest you may be low in magnesium (such as muscle cramps, severe menstrual cramps, panic attacks, depression or chronic muscle pain), consider adding supplemental magnesium in almost any form. There's a good reason why one well-known OTC laxative is called Milk of Magnesia!

If none of these remedies provides relief in a day or two, consider the herb cascara sagrada, or a dose of castor oil. These powerful laxatives can irritate the gut lining, however. They should be taken only intermittently, as repeated use can lead to dependency as chemical laxatives do. Neither of these herbal laxatives should be used by pregnant or nursing women.

Drinking a cup of hot liquid (such as herbal tea) first thing in the morning may stimulate the colon and induce a bowel movement.

Eat plenty of high-fiber, low-fat foods--at least five servings a day of raw fruits and vegetables; whole grain breads and cereals; bran; and dried beans can prevent constipation. Increase your fiber intake gradually to avoid bloating and gas.

Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water or juice daily. Clear soups are also good for replenishing fluids.

Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, which increase fluid loss and worsen constipation.

Exercise regularly.

Repeated use of over-the-counter stimulant laxatives should be a last resort, taken only after evaluation by your doctor. Mineral oil should never be used as a laxative as it can deplete your body of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).

Move your bowels whenever you feel the urge to do so. A very common cause of chronic constipation is perpetual postponement.

Just a reminder: If you have a serious medical condition, it's always wise to check with your doctor before beginning any supplement program.

As you change your diet, keep a daily journal of everything you consume. Then keep a seperate diary of your bowl habits. I see you will be led to several fruit options. Avoid all corn products.
