Question

Any natural remedies for constipation?

Answer 1

Diet can both prevent and cure constipation so eat more foods rich in magnesium as magnesium will increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy and thus aid in digestion..... the more fibre in your diet from fruits, vegies, legumes and whole grains, the softer and the larger the amount of f***s will be passed.

Magnesium is needed in the human body for helathy nerves and muscle functioning and for heart health. Magnesium rich foods will aide in eliminating constipation problems for you.

Eat more foods rich in this wonderfull little mineral ie: leafy and green vegies, nuts and seeds, wholegrain breads and cereals and cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting.

Magnesium is also known as the antistress mineral and will help you deal with stressy situations better.

Also, eat more foods rich in Vitamin C as vitamin C is a natural laxative ie: oranges, lemons and limes, leafy and green vegies, tomatoes, potatoes and red and green capsicums. Vitamin C rich foods will also bolster your immune system and help in lowering blood pressure and protect you against many forms of cancer.

Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as those containing caffeine ie: soft drinks and sodas, coffee, tea and also alcohol will dehydrate you...........for each can of soda or soft drink that you have your body can excrete up to 12 cups of water !! Caffeine is marginally better ~ for just one cup of coffee you need to replace it with 2 cups of water because the caffeine tricks our brains into thinking that we have ample water supply and encourages the body to urinate much needed fluid from our body!!

The use of laxatives will only exaspperate your problem and will do a brilliant job of robbing you of your B complex of vitamins (which are essential for healthy digestive, neural and immune system functioning) and also your vitamin C supplies. Also take a good quality multi B complex supplement as the B group of vitamins is essential for healthy digestive, neural and immune system functioning. As they are a water soluble complex our bodies can neither store or produce them. As such we need to replace them on a daily basis or suffer from the stress related side affect.

Drink loads of fresh filtered water too ~ at least 2 - 3 litres per day ~ as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.

♥ For a temporary measure only put 1 teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water, stir it up and drink up ......... be prepared to do a loud burp and you'll find that any tummy ache you had will be resolved within 15 minutes and your constipation will itself resolve within a few hours ♥ The baking soda will realkalise the contents of your tummy and help you move .......... it is only an aid to be used in an emergency though, as along with realkalising the contents of your tummy and giving you relief from the ghastly pain of constipation it will also neutralise your digestive juices (eat more foods rich in magnesium in future to encourage the production of digestive juices ~ i guess that's why my mom always used to tell me to eat my greens!!) ....... soooo, use it to relieve the pain now but in future you need to eat a bit better and drink more water mate♥

Answer 3

Fiber.  Metamucil is natural.  The juice called PlumSmart works good, it is found in the bottled juice aisle.

Answer 4

Nux Vomica 200 .. this is a homeopathic remedy. take it two or 3 times I only had to take it 2 times. it not only makes u go easily but also regulates your digestive system. I was constipated for 8 days straight and nothing seemed to help. and this did it for me. also add alooooooottttttt of fiber in your diet even if you are not constipated. drink lots of water especially when you wake up in the morning. and if you can drink fresh carrot juice. (may be 16 oz or so  every day)it always helps me when I start to feel like i am getting constipated or something.  

P.S.    a couple hours after you take this remedy u will probably get loose stools. dont worry about those. Every thing will be fine in a day or so. and you will feel so much better. best of all you wont have worry about sideeffects or getting addicted to the medicine because homepathic medicines are really safe , they cause no harm, no side effects, and they are so safe that an infant can take them too.

Answer 15

All you need is plenty of fiber and roughage and three very healthy diets that include both are the Mediterranean diet, the Pritikin diet and and a vegetarian diet that you may perhaps want to investigate.

If you are really desperate and you need very quick relief you could try bingeing on prunes, oranges or mandarins for a few days and if you want something even faster you could try castor oil.
