Eat more vegetables and drink plenty of water. Raisins and prunes will help get things moving. If you're really backed up, you can drink some prune juice. If you frequently have trouble with constipation, avoid rice, applesauce and cheese, or at least limit the quantities you consume.

A diet rich is whole grains, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables will increase the roughage that is needed to promote good eliminations. Lots of fresh water daily, bowels need the liquid to work properly. Herb teas help. Eliminate all refined products, and refined sugars, sodas, etc.
Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar provides lots of the good bacteria and many other health giving properties.
The more raw foods in your diet, the more natural enzymes that are available in your body to digest the foods. Chew your food slowly and well for better digestion.
Use only natural honey, stevia or xylitol for sweeteners. Splenda is not good for your health.
Dr. Richard Schulze is on the Internet and he has several colon cleanse products that are excellent.
Hydra colon therapy, help to cleanse out the old rotten debris and get them working correctly.
Flax seeds are excellent, let them soak first in water and then drink, it helps to cleanse the colon.
Natural Calm from Peter Gillham's Natural Vitality (health food store) helps also. Taken at night it is an anti-stress drink that restores healthy magnesium levels and loosens the bowels to healthy levels.
At the health food store there are products to cleanse the colon. A clean properly working colon is the basis of all health. Disease happens when the food is fermenting and rotten in the colon.

I believe you can eat an apple and that's supposed to get rid of the constipation.

You should drink a lot of water. You should also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Caunstapation is mainly caused by dehidration and slow movement of deafs in the large intestine. When u drink a lot of water it will reduce dehidratio an the fibres in fruits and vegetables help to fastern digestion.

You should eat more fiber. This means anything green. The fiber is a sugar called cellulose that your body cannot digest. When the substance passes through your bowel it increases the production of mucus and therefore makes things go a lot smoother.

Eat black licorice. As much as you like. Shouldn't take more than 6-12 hours before you get relief. Don't bother with Rx unless absolutely necessary. Add bran or natural whole grains to your daily diet. Your body will thank you for it, for decades to come.

Lots of water, then fruits, brans, etc. But definitely upping your water intake should help a lot. If needed, you could even try using a non-laxative-based stool softener.

"Ruffage" as my grandma would say. Leafy greens, bananas, prunes, most fruits, fiber (Metamucil or bran), etc. Stay away from dairy products (no cheese, milk, yogurt, etc!)!
Good Luck....
