Constipation?

Question

is there an easy way to get rid of constipation?

Answer 1

There are five choices: include bulk forming agents in your diet. They include psyllium, serculia gum, polycarbophil, methylcellulose, and bran. Or just have 5-10 servings of fruit and veg and reduce fat intake. Good for long term use. Second, there are saline laxatives (milk of magnesia, magnesium citrate) that draw water into the colon for easier passage of stool. They work in a few hours. Third, Osmotic laxatives (lactulose) also draw water and are okay for long term use under doctor's supervision. Fourth, there are stool softeners (docusate sodium) that prevent stool from becoming dry. Fifth, and the worst, are the stimulant laxatives (senna, cascara, bisacodyl, caster oil). They cause irritation of the bowel to stimulate movement. Suppositories of these products act within minutes. If you have chronic constipation, the best option is one or three. For occasion constipation, any two, four and five would be okay. But stay with one if you can.
