Gentle relief over night laxatives?

Question

This question is kind of embarrassing- lol. But I took over night laxatives in the morning, hoping they would kick in around 4. Well it is well past that, and they haven't kicked in. I need to wake up early, and want to go to bed. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process. I don't want to be waking up in the middle of the night. Thanks.

are you constapated?

Answer 3

drink water,apple juice,eat a fruit that usualy makes you go

Answer 4

ive done this before. you have to keep taking the laxatives regularly. if you are really constipated it will take a little bit. maybe even a couple of days. another thing that helps is fiber. eat or take a lot of fiber.

Answer 5

Take Vitamin C 1 gram every 1/2 hour till you go. It usually takes 6 gram, but can be different from person to person. Get the chewable ones, look at the tablet size, 500mg is 1/2 gram. Any excess you take you get rid of it through your urine next day, you cannot overdose on that. If this is a regular problem, try to drink prune juice as a part of your diet, and increase fiber in your food.
