Natural constipation remedies?
So I've been constipated for about a week and a half now... This happens about once a month. I need a natural constipation remedy, I don't want to go to the doctor. I tried drinking a cup of warm water last night, and I think it helped a little. Will it help if I do that more? Please don't say "Just go to the doctor", you're not helping.

Prune juice works well for a lot of people. My husband had a hard time for awhile after some surgery, and he drank an 8 ounce glass of prune juice before bed every night for awhile. It worked for him.
Miralax is a product that works for some. Google it and read about it. It is completely tasteless and dissolves in any liquid.
But if this happens to you regularly, are you drinking enough water every day? Eating fruits and vegetables? You need enough fiber in your diet and it's very important to drink enough water. You don't have to drink a whole glass at a time. Just drink throughout the day. I love ice water, and keep an insulated mug of it beside me all day!
Try these things and see if it helps.

You could try, sweet potatoes, apples, chia seeds, milk of magnesia, caster oil, fiber bars, you could also try a laxative tablet. You can get them at any pharmacy. You could also try a suppository. I hope that helps you out and i hope you feel better soon.
