Anybody know any good natural laxitives?

Question

I've tried apple juice and prune juice.

Answer 1

Fruit. Not juice. Real fruit.

Answer 2

Dried apricots, prunes, dates, figs.

Answer 3

Prune juice,or prunes almost  always work, but is a little harsh,causing cramps and things.I use sprinkle fiber.It's made with acacia , a natural fiber.You can sprinkle it in your cereal or yougurt or whatever.It doesn't give you cramps or gas,but it might take a day or two to work.Many of the so called natural things out there are very harsh,but this seemed to work good for me.Get it at the health food store.

Answer 4

Chinese food works for me.

Answer 5

Saccharomyces Boulardii Probiotic supplement or S. Boulardii, 1 capsule of 5Billion microorganisms with empty out all the lodged feacal matter.

Answer 10

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....  magnesium rich foods will also assist in resolving headaches & migraines and anxiety and stress.

Eat more foods rich in this wonderfull little mineral ie: leafy and green vegies, organic 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.

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.

peace 2 u

Answer 11

also eating real black licorice...not the cheap sugary stuff...the panda bear stuff in the stores...eat like a whole bag or so if you want a clean out...

Answer 12

bread (carbohydrares)

if i were you I'd take milk of magnesia though

Answer 13

You've got to find the cause of your constipation..

For a quick relief you can take magnesium or Senna tablets or drink  Senna tea......

But this might be due to a lack of good bacteria or friendly bacteria in your stomach & colon........Take a course of  tharapeutic kind of Probiotic supplements... It will definitely work and lower your symptoms...

Good Luck
