Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movement, incomplete evacuation of bowel, decrease in the volume or weight of the bowel. It may also refer to passage of small amounts of hard and dry bowel movements. It is the disturbance in the digestive tract that gives rise to many other ailments in the body.

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

Remedy for Constipation
After my c-section I was extremely constipated. My mom made me Chamomile Tea with a lot of sugar and it helped me. Also fresh, raw papaya and grapes.

Drink one glass of milk while chewing grapes before you go to sleep. The next morning on an empty stomach, drink one glass of orange juice w/pulp. You should go to the washroom about an hour later.;-)

Try eating Prunes....works for me
and also Ispaghol taken with warm milk at night

avoid water during meals, brown rice & steamed vegetables fine,avoid milk with meals, okra good, avoid carbonated & cold drinks, eat at regular time. take dinner before sunset. take psyllium husk with yogurt everyday for severe constipation.Eat green vegetables & green moong lentis/ legumes frequently.
#13 - thakur - 06/18/2008 - 14:42
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
#14 - angy - 06/22/2008 - 23:07

When I was preggers with my oldest son I couldn't poop to save my life! My OBGYN told me to eat a tablespoon of dark brown sugar followed by a glass of cold water. Worked great!! No cramps, no urgency. Just a normal "I have to go" feeling.
#17 - Mrs. NewYorker - 10/10/2008 - 21:01
THE ULTIMATE CURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go out and buy Mangosteen juice (I used Lakewood brand). The recommended 1oz. 3 times a day, but drink at least 2oz. at least 4 times a day. Its a little bit expensive, but totally worth it and VERY good for you. This worked for me after a doctor told me that I needed a strong drug to make me go.
#18 - Chena - 10/18/2008 - 19:16
I've had good luck with Egyptian Licorice tea. I use the Yogi Tea brand, but health food stores should have others if you can't find this one. I just make a cup of this tea in the evenings when I need to get back to regular.
#19 - Michigan - 10/25/2008 - 10:56

#20 - Patti - 11/23/2008 - 19:05
I found the ULTIMATE cure and it has worked wonders for all of the people that have tried it. Every morning for 2 - 3 weeks. Eat 2-3 table spoons of peanut butter mixed with mollassses. It might not taste so good, but its guarenteed to regulate your bowel movements
#21 - New Jersey - 11/26/2008 - 23:14
I have serious problems with this. I will be more than 5 days without a BM. I have tried so many things but nothing seems to work regurlay. Sometime I tried things that work once or twice and then nothing. I read on this board something about Peanutbutter and mollasses. I'm going to try this to see what happens.~ thank you for sharing what had worked for you
#22 - Maria C - 12/11/2008 - 06:04
Its not what will always help you go when you havent been in a few days.. You have too have a proper eating diet, or this problem will always happen... the best way is too sort out a proper eating chart and stick too it.. and i promise you all this will go.. i had a very bad childhood with this and had too see docotors and all sorts.. not very nice.. but it was from eating all kinds of crap... soon as i changed to a healthy diet after 16 years of this kind of pain an trouble, i have never had it since.. im 23 now and im out everyday after work walking for a few hours with th dogs.. always drinkin water, instead of coke or lager.. never eat sweets or chocolate... it all sounds silly, but i feel so much healthyer now, and id never go back to my old habbits... i hope this helps some one, and i hope people follow in a nice fresh diet..

Many thanks for your time..
#23 - north w - 12/11/2008 - 09:56
Had to comment on the tbs of brown sugar followed by a glass of cold water. Brown sugar is actually white sugar with molasses. Probably would also work with just the molasses.

#27 - mom in indy - 12/28/2008 - 00:26
Kiwi fruit works wonders....very high in fibre and more vitamin c than an orange. Have 2 first day and 1 every day after, even better if just before you go to bed....
#28 - Janet - 12/30/2008 - 19:13
maybe it was coincidence... i don't know. but i just tried the spoonful of brown sugar followed by a glass of cold water and it helped. nothing radical. just a regular bm.
#29 - glad - 01/06/2009 - 01:43
Besides eating a bowl of weatabix every morning, take a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water twice a day if you can, the results will speak for themselves. Apple Cider Vinegar is second to none for all stomach upsets including bloating, belching, hiccups. It also prevents nausea and vomiting. It prevents flu and colds. Everyone should have a bottle, used everyday, no more complaints. Use it mixed with equal parts of water for skin applications to reduce puffiness under eyes, dark circles, acne, pimples, it even clears blackheads. Try it, you will not try anything else!
#30 - Tracey - 01/06/2009 - 05:36

:-D:-[] just stick your whole index finger up your bumd dry....it works like a charm.
#33 - Dr. Greenthumb - 01/21/2009 - 23:12
I suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Quite recently I've been drinking loads of pineapple juice which has lessened the need for laxatives. I'd learned this piece of information from someone and their pet rabbit. The rabbit had swallowed a hairball and it needed help to pass through it's system. The rabbit's owner fed it pineapple juice which helped the rabbit flush the hairball out of its digestive system. This may sound unusual, but it was this information that helped me realise how pineapple juice can also help people. Try it and you might be surprised how effective pineapple juice is for a person's digestive system. =o)

Give pressure to the middle part of your chin for 2-6 minutes with your pointer (second finger) while sitting in the toilet. This will help in solving the constipstion problem.
#35 - D.D.D. - 02/01/2009 - 04:16
Dip a Green Tea Bag in 6 oz cup of boiling water, then add 1/2 tsp of natural honey. After it cools enough to drink down, wait less than 1/2 hour. Voila!! Do this every morning and your colon will love you.
#36 - dee - 02/16/2009 - 10:15
Chocolate Smooth Moves Tea works wonders, but it is considered a "laxative" tea, so I don't think it's good to use on a regular basis.
#37 - pito - 02/18/2009 - 07:10
Eat one container of activia lite yogurt, any flavor everyday. Was the only thing that worked every time for me after 26 years of off and on constipation.
#38 - auntie m - 03/24/2009 - 17:15

#39 - jason - 03/24/2009 - 18:32

#40 - harrison - 04/05/2009 - 20:27
I have a chocolate fascination so while at work i brought a twirl and dipped it into my hot chocolate which was packed with sugar (i wasnt constipated) but i had to run to the loo. I figured out every time i did this i really needed the loo so im guessing it is a sort of laxative! Cheap and you dont have to spend ridiculous prices over the counter. Seriously its worth a try! Just make sure its alot of chocolate though maybe like cadburies chocolate bar or something. Good luck guys i hope it ends soon!!
#41 - milly - 04/08/2009 - 18:18
Take one to three gel caps of flaxseed oil every day. It worked for me.

I recently underwent surgery for rectum cancer and as a result was left with a permanent colostomy bag. My diet is poor and I didn`t drink more than a glass of water a day. Last night after going 10 days without passing anything of substance I decided to drink a pint of water. Two hours later I felt a hard piece of waste half protruding from the hole in my stomach,I removed the colostomy bag and strained a little. The result was spectacular,the hard waste( about the size of a wheel nut!) shot out and I was pouring waste out for five minutes. Today I`m still getting rid of waste and I feel so much better. WATER is what did it for me and I`m now determined to drink mainly water always. Goodluck people.

I just started having problems w/constipation at the age of 31 after I had gotten the 24 hr flu back in september (vomiting/diariha).The last time I had been sick like that was when i was 12 but no issues after that. Now that I'm 31 I have severe constipation, not sure why. I went to the dr. He gave me a few different perscriptions. worked for a short bit. I just want to find something natural that will take this a way. I constantly think about it.
