Drink prune juice or take a laxative.
Then see your doctor.
Dulcolax from the drugstore for the immediate problem (works in 6 to 12 hours).
Lots of fruit (apples and prunes) and vegetables for the long term regularity
Drink a gallon of prune juice & eat several bran muffins.
It depends on how severe your problem is, actually. If it's been 10+ days, you are in serious discomfort and your abdomen is distended, you may have an intestinal blockage. This is a life-threatening situation and can *only* be addressed by surgery - laxatives, suppositories, etc will only make the situation worse by increasing the pressure behind the blockage and possibly facilitating a rupture. Even if there is no rupture, after about two weeks, you're in danger of blood toxicity - also fatal.
If you just have chronic constipation though, increasing fiber, taking senna supplements with lots of water before bed and exercising should help get you back to regular.
Be well!
A quick and natural remedy is to drink prune juice, available in the fruit drink section of the grocery store. If you drink three to four cups, keep close to the toilet.
Any person experiencing severe constipation problems needs to see a professional gastroenterologist and arrange to have a complete colonoscopy at the earliest convenience.
These problems can be symptoms of something as unassuming as consumption of the wrong foods, the wrong combination of foods or it could be as serious as colorectal cancer. Do NOT get involved in taking laxatives or enemas unless your medical doctor advises you, explicitly to do so because that could cause further complications. Make that appointment TODAY! A.S.A.P. Best wishes.
Try the "traditional" cures (prune juice, fruit, bran, etc.), but don't use laxatives- they can make the problem way worse. If you want to try any kind of laxative, use Epsom salt mixed with water; it works by increasing the amount of water in your colon, so it shouldn't be as hard on your system as chemicals. Massaging your lower belly might help get things moving as well.
due to medications I had this problem,too, it's not fun.Call yoyr local store (try a healthfood store,too) and look for a cereal called UNCLE SAMS CEREAL, get it,eat it, it will literally clean out your whoooooooooooooole system.
leave you shiny inside.
it will work within a few hours since it is pure bulk, and good for you.
Also, I love prunes, not stewed (bleagh), justa bag of prunes, you don't have to eat the whole thing, they're good!
Also, GET THEE INTO EATING VEGETABLES AND FRUITS, IT WILL KEEP YOUR INSIDES REGULAR.
Oh, here's one more, bake some potatoes, in the morning, cut them up into slices, and cook them in a pan with onions and butter (and salt and pepper to taste) until nice and browned up. It's a good healthy meal, the potatoes are good roughage, and if you eat it with an egg or sausage (or both, man that sounds good right now) you get a great meal in this deal.
Or you can try the over the counter meds, you're choice. I just like natural ways
