Question

Does anyone know of a good fast remedy for constipation?

Answer 1

You can try prunes, about 4 or 5 and that should work, another natural product is Senna or sennacot, my doctor recommended it for me while I was going through my chemo. It worked great, no cramping and uncomfortable feeling. I hope this will help you.  

Answer 2

A glass of warm salt water (sounds gross but it really works! And its fast) always does the trick.

Answer 3

prunes or prune juice, dandelion tea, clover tea, or strong coffee

Answer 4

Eat Pollo Loco

Answer 5

If you really need a fast remedy - e***a or suppository depending on severity of problem.

Answer 6

You can try Ozovit (PASCOE), it works well on me. It is a natural health product and you can find it at health food stores.

Answer 7

prunes.  

Answer 8

Senna tea is good. There is a product called Smooth Move that you can buy at the health food store.

Otherwise, metamucil or psyllium husks work, but may take sometime. Taking Metamucil or Citrical or fiber daily can work as a preventative measure.

Drink lots of water too.

Aloe Vera can help with resulting hemmorhoids. Just drink it.

Answer 21

Take plenty of soluble fiber (e.g., double or triple the recommended dosage of sugar-free, original flavor, original texture Metamucil--sp?), add lots of water, and boil until it becomes a pasty gel that tastes terrible.  Drink it all and wait a while.  This is the quickest, safest, and least uncomfortable method of relieving constipation that I have ever used.
