Answer 1

Magnesium is good to clear constipation and like vitamin c, your body disposes of what you don't need.

Answer 2

The best way to eliminate constipation is to increase the fiber in your diet. You should be having regular bowel movement 2 to 3 times a day. Try increasing your fruits and vegetable. Food such a figs, raisins, broccoli and banana are great foods that can increase the amount of fiber very quickly. Also drink plenty of filtered water when consuming these fiberous food it will just help it work in a more efficient manor.

Answer 4

Eating prunes, eating a high fiber diet, drink lots of water, and you can take mineral oil for extended period of time verses other laxatives, also they have that new yogurt, dont know if it works but it is in the Grocery stores, called Activa, I may be wrong but I think its made by Dannon, you can try taking fiber supplemnts for a week or two, but modifing what you eat now is the healthiest way to go.

Answer 5

When constipation results from a faulty diet, the patient should eat more green vegetables, fruits, whole grain bread and cereals, and other foods with fiber. The patient also should drink ample quantities of water. Constipation may be a symptom of a serious disease. If it persists, or is accompanied by rectal bleeding, it should be investigated by a physician.
