Constipation Remedy - Vegetarian Treatment
Become a vegetarian which uses lots of roughage which aids your digestive track to function smoothly. This, coupled with a good, consistent schedule of work out and peace of mind will surely do the trick.

I just had surgery which precluded me from excercising and eating my usual great vegetarian diet so I'm late with 8 days. Otherwise...it works like a clock! :o) Adela

listen, i had this problem. i couldn't go to school until i pooped somthing out otherwise i would be with a stomache for the rest of the day and it's uncomfortable to learn and concentrate. what i reccomend to do is eat purely and only vegetables and fruits, drink alot of water (up to 8 glasses), eat fiber (good cereal:Go Lean; eat it two hours before going to sleep), and about prune NO! don't reccomend this because it might have your stomach twirling all day. follow it as a strict diet and it will surely work! i just had to do it for two weeks but now went back to my regular food eating and i can finally use the bathroom every morning when i wake up WITHOUT NO PROBLEM
