Apart from the above suggestions, Gelusil (digestion tonic, can be got at medical stores) and bananas will also help a lot!!

well, there are quite a few diet changes you can make to help get things going.
1- make sure you are eating wheat breads rather than white- white bread can really constipate, especially if you are eating alot of it.
2- increase you fresh food intake- fruits and vegetables are the best sources of fiber.
3- But, watch out for banannas- and along with it, other constipating foods like cheese, rice, sometimes even to much meats.
4- make sure that it is not a problem caused by a medication. Believe it or not, Tylenol can be constipating. some meds will contribute to a problem, even over the counter ones. A pharmacist can help you figure out if an over the counter med, or a prescription med could be contributing to the problem.
5- make sure you are drinking enough water. not too much,as the latest news has pointed out people have overdone water and become sick or died from too much. but a resonable amount of water, 4-6 glasses. avoid caffienated drinks, because they can dehydrate. you could have a soda, or tea or coffee, but make sure thats not all you drink.
6- prune juice is a way to allieviate constipation sometimes, and a small bit of it a day, or prunes or raisins can go a long way. these are bulky fibers that make it easy for the digestive track to move along.
7- if adjusting your diet does not bring relief, make sure to see a family doctor. sometimes they will have suggestions that work better, and even some over the counter meds they can give oyu safe instructions to use to help.
hope you feel better soon.

Drink 2 - 3 litres of water per day. Do not drink 30 minutes before meals and 60 minutes after the meal. If you drink warm water, it is better. While going to bed and as soon as you get up, drink hot water. Eat banana and papaya every day. Add more fiber food in your diet. Bendi helps a lot for motion. cut longer pieces and cook. Avoid white bread. Eat less, wht is required.

Drink four litres of water daily. Especially in the morning, after getting from bed, take atleat 4-5 glasses of water and see the positive results for yourself in just one to 7 days of starting this method of treatment. Also include lots of curd in your diet.

drink glasses and glasses of water. make sure its clean (drinking water). at least 8 glasses a day. try also eating lots of fruits and vegetables rich in fiber to clean your digestive system. it will help eliminate unwanted waste products of digestion.
or better yet run to your nearest drug store and buy a laxative agent (its in a reasonable price).

Use a juicer. Mix several veggies and add aloe vera, and wheat grass juice. Also, prunes, fruit and veggies with plenty of water during the day. Also, take walks.

Try any of the following...
1) Take more fibrous items like palak (leafy vegetable) and other vegetables. Avoid root vegetables.
2) Take some spicy (chilli based) items like pickle or add more chilli in your food preparation, if acceptable to your other family members.
3) dont take garlic.
4) You can add onions fresh or cooked.
5) Take stomach full of water as soon as you get from the bed and try to pass stool. Even you fail, keep trying and you will succeed one day. Then, make it as a regular habit.
All the best!

Hello,
Lots of fluids, change eating habits (more bulk food), lower stress level and exercises walking more.
Also cold coffee about 3 cups could work for you, eat nuts.
