For a child always consult a doctor. For adults, prunes (and many other foods, but prunes are tried and true) and water should help. Over the counter soap-sud enemas will do it, but if is bad enough for that then see a doctor fast! Long term constipation can be toxic and even fatal!

I am not an expert but I know a thing or two about nutrition. You are doing a good thing by taking in fiber and water. A EFA (essenial fatty acid) oil blend usually works, they are healthy fats that are amazing, and I will share those reasons after. A few EFA blends are: UDO's Oil Vega antioxidant blend Olive oil Safflower oil The one that I use everyday is Vega antioxidant oil, or UDO's oil. I take in 2 tbsp+/day, and this will keep your stools soft, colon clean, and regular. ( no pain) EFA's are amazing because, besides the help with constipation, they have amazing benefits including: -anti-aging -boost metabolism -enhance brain and nervous system function -increase energy and performance -reduce cardiovascular disease -strengthen the immune system -improve organ and gland function -grow healthy skin, hair, and nails -reduce inflammation -regulate body weight -protects cell health ( prevent cancers) It is very important to start gradually, if you take to much to soon it can make you nauseaous. Read the directions on the products, and it's always a good idea to consult your physician. Hemp Seeds are also great as they are high in these "healthy" fats and also have a great amount of fiber. Take in the morning or midday, as they naturally boost energy and can make it hard to sleep. The vega oil can be found on the webpage source below. Best of luck and feel better soon!

Kousyl fiber add it to a 9oz glass of water; a day. Keep it up daily and watch what you eat. Papaya is good for you as well. I should know, I am pregnant. Drink a lot of water too.
Peace

go to your Doctor or pharmacy and ask for pill that help stop constipation. The pills help, but it might take some time

Natural choices: Have 3 stewed prunes with lemon. Or eat 3 prunes. Or eat black licorice.

Pharmaceutical choice: Exlax and I'm sure there are others.

Hope this helps.

Drink lots of water.
Get some exercise.
If all else fails try some Senekot.
