Eat 10 to 20 oranges, 20 to 30 mandarins or 40 to 50 prunes a day for a few days.

Give yourself an enema to get it cleaned out. It may take more than one enema. If so do another one in a few hours.
Then eat more fiber to keep your colon going well.
Fiber Sure is a powder you put in a warm drink and works well and has no taste. Other things with fiber are fresh fruit and vegetables, beans like pork and beans, 100% whole wheat bread.
When you eat fiber you need lots of water to make work right. There are even drinks that have fiber in them now.
Yogurt will regulate the good bacteria in your colon that you need for good digestion.

Constipation is usually caused from dehydration.
You should seriously up your water intake and lower your intake of caffine and/or alcohol. Eat fresh fruits and veggies on a daily basis. Eat grain cereals high in fiber.
When I wake up of a morning I will drink a whole can of V8.
For a total cleansing... go to a nutrition store they have a lot of different colon cleansing mixes to choose from. in a variety of flavors.
This advice is only advice, I am not a DR. Please consult your Physican before procedding with any type of home remedy.

There is a laxative that works great for me. It's called Dulcolex (something like that). It wont take too long and let me warn you. When you go you'll go but it shouldn't be hard and it will happily come out. If you do take something stay somewhere where you can get to a bathroom fast.

Use a Fleet Enema (bought at Pharmacy) and follow up with fluids (water, a little gatorade). Also walk about as it helps break up the fecal matter.
If you eat fibre daily at a regular time, it will help regulate you over time.
