Best Constipation Cures

Answer 3

Bran will help, you need to drink more, water, not alcohol.Prunes are very good, sometimes a cup of hot tea will help. Exercise, like squats will encourage your peristalsis to be more active. Once you have remedied the situation make sure you eat plenty of fibre in your diet. Leave skins on fruit and veg whenever possible.

Answer 4

The best thing to cure constipation and is really effective as soon as u have eaten at least a couple of them tht are... Kiwi fruit, they are full of magnesium so keep u going regulary, and its good to eat a couple of kiwi every day or two, let me know how u go,

Answer 5

I'd take fibre rich foods such as cooked-oats or a breakfast cereal rich in oats,nuts & seeds (not with milk but soy milk is better). also probiotics either as a supplement or other.If taking a supplement look for a brand where the capsule has been enteric-coated to protect the bacteria as they pass through the acidic environment of the stomach.

Also I have heard pineapples are very good but am not 100% sure about this.
Also brussels sprouts and beetroot, beans, broccoli, peppers, apples and carrots.
psyllium seeds are supposed to be extremely effective, I think health shops sell them

Answer 6

Yes, bran will help, but usually that is a cumulative thing - adding bran to your diet every day is rumored to keep you "moving' every day. Prunes are certainly good for getting things moving and making sure there is a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in your diet everyday will also keep things moving.

Answer 7

I have terrible constipation due to my painkillers, and i have to eat broccoli and sprouts and lots of fruit and veg, i make chili with lots of kidney beans in it, eat prunes in their own juice and if i get real bad the only thing that will shift it is lactulose, but Ive found that makes you bloated before it starts to work and it can be uncomfortable.

If you exercise and are active that should help too ?.
Good Luck :-)

Answer 8

How long have you been constipated for? If its more than a few days you should see your doctor. There might be an underlying problem. Try senna tablets or syrup of figs, or eating figs (if you can stand them!) Also try massaging your abdomen in a clockwise motion and gentle exercise

Answer 9

acidopilus- this is a capsual you can get from a health food shop (deff holland and barrett)
this will ballance out the bacteria in the gut and should help regulate you. it is also go if you go the other way too.

phylium husks are a great source of fibre too

Answer 10

Bran will certainly help, also drinking plenty of water will help. Senna is a natural laxative and will work in tune with your body.
