Question

Does anyone know any home remedies for constipation? no joke.?

Answer 1

A good quality natural supplement like magnesium will help.  It is safe and works wonderfully. It comes in capsules of 100 mg each. You can take up to 400 mgs,  depending on the severity of your dilemma. Start with two and take it at night before bed.  And being constipated IS no joke. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 2

Wow, you got given some good advice here buddy..... 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 and will also resolve an acid tummy and help to eliminate headaches and migraines.

Eat more foods rich in this wonderfull little mineral ie: leafy and green vegies, nuts and seeds, wholegrain breads and cereals and 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...... don't use the baking soda remedy though if you suffer from high blood pressure.

Answer 3

Drink more water, you would be surprised how this helps a lot of people as many are dehydrated and the body will retain all he water it can and causes constipation.

Not tea, coffee or other diuretic type drinks.

Spring water or distilled water with a pinch of Celtic salt  (1/4 "tsp per quart of water) shaken to dissolve and add oxygen to the water (this will make it taste better and be more absorb more easily)

Your Body's Many Cries for Water by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj  about $12 book, great information on lots of things it can cure, with just water at the right time and amount.

Answer 4

prunes. warm water with lemon, salt and sugar. vitamin c containing fruits-- oranges, apples, strawberries......

sleep on your right side, or face down.

lots of water. coffee.

spinach--

Answer 5

Colonics, powdered magnesium (natural calm, you can  get from internet) psyllium husks.

For a natural stimulant, there is a tea called Smooth Move, it's natural organic and in the tea section of grocers. Steep for at least 20 minutes and drink before bedtime, you WILL get relief next morning, but don't worry, not severe affect.

Do not do this often, though, it is still a stimulant, natural or not, but it will work to relieve you.

The magnesium powder will also work overnight.

Answer 6

magnesium Citrate. It tastes like a wierd Sprite. You can buy it at Wal-Mart for like $1. That works the best!

Answer 8

eat a bowl of oatmeal. this is very effective

prunes/ prune juice too.

make sure that you drink plenty of fluids during the day.

eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. i live in a tropical country and we have a lot of supply of mangoes. one mango can loosen up the bowels. try cantaloupe, watermelon, peaches or strawberries. if you don't want to eat them raw then make a fruit smoothie or fruit shake. just make sure that half of it are fruits.

Answer 9

if you need to go in a few minutes, go get some cod liver oil. Mix about 1-2 tbsp in a small glass of orange juice.

This may cause some bad cramps but it will empty out any clogs!

Prevention is the best medicine, try a bowl of whole grain cereal at night, or a cup of yogurt a day...

Answer 10

Cheese. It's a binder.

Answer 11

Green vegetables, banana, lots of water during the day, warm milk before going to bed will help, try it.

Answer 12

constipation can be caused by the lack of exercise and the foods that you eat and the drinks that you take in. to be able to get rid of constipation, have a healthy balanced diet like eating foods rich in fiber; fruits can be a great foods to eat for constipation but certain ones, like bananas, can actually make the situation worse. Those fruits considered to be good foods to eat for constipation include the apricot, apple, and prune.  However, don’t bother peeling these fruit as the fiber you are looking for is contained primarily in the skin. Drink plenty of water each day and get some exercise to have a regular bowel movements. If constipation persist, better consult a doctor.

Answer 13

Prunes or prune juice. Anything with fiber (If I eat too much raisin bran, that will do it for me)

Cheese has the opposite effect on me.

Answer 14

I tried rocks and weed. the combination made my eyes bleed
