Answer 1

First take either an e***a or suppository depending on level of discomfort to clear out all the decomposing doos! As to warding off constipation in future...

I guess you know all the usual recommendations: make sure you get lots of fruit and veg (esp. with skins; green veg like spinach), nuts (if not allergic), brown bread.

Probiotic yoghurts work for some people.

Also make sure you're getting plenty of exercise - not necessarily at the gym, just walking more.

Answer 2

If nothing else works, your doctor can prescribe things that will flush you out in a hurry.  You can also try home enemas.

Constipation is more irritating than dangerous.  You can go for many days without defecating without harm to yourself, and for some people this is normal (although it certainly might be stressful if it's not your normal rhythm). Constipation should not cause kidney infections.

If you don't feel any discomfort, remember that going at a certain time each day isn't necessary for proper health, it's just convenient.  Typically, when your body decides it's time to go, you'll go normally.

Sometimes if you are taking medications, they might cause constipation.  This is especially true for opioids such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, codeine, and so on.

Answer 3

you should try eating  prune juice

Answer 4

I to have had that problem a lot. I have to be careful what I eat. Drink plenty of water and sometimes I would have to take a stool softener. Prunes and or just taking a stool softener will not help me at all. Fiber would always make it worst for my. If your metabolism is slow then you definitely have to take care of your self. Just put your self on a good diet.

Answer 5

Glycerin Suppositories-get them at any drug store...you'll be ok!
