*How Can I Avoid Getting Constipated?
Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of fiber. Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grain bread and cereal. Most of the fiber in fruits is found in the skins. Fruits with edible seeds, such as strawberries, have the most fiber. Eat bran cereal or add bran cereal to other foods, such as soup.
Drink 1? to 2 quarts of water and other fluids a day. (Note: Milk can cause constipation in some people.) Liquids that contain caffeine, such as coffee and soft drinks, seem to have a dehydrating effect and may need to be avoided until your bowel habits return to normal.
Exercise regularly.
Move your bowels when you feel the urge.
*How Is Constipation Treated?
Drink two to four extra glasses of water a day.
Try warm liquids, especially in the morning.
Add fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Eat prunes and/or bran cereal.
If needed, use a very mild stool softener or laxative (such as Pericolace or Milk of Magnesia). Do not use laxatives for more than two weeks without calling your doctor since laxative overuse can aggravate your symptoms.
*Call your doctor if

eat a lot of fruits, vegatables, and chocolate!
Have you heard of the herb Cascara Sagrada Bark? Used in a tea form, mixed with some Hibicus could be good, every few days or so........
Go to an Asian market and pick up something called Nutri-Slim Tea.This tea is very effective if you are constipated and it really cleans your system out naturally.The only thing is, you will have at least two bowel movements no more than 8 hours after drinking it.Usually,it happens sooner but you should definitely drink it when you have at least 8 hours to wait for something to happen.I would definitely use this before bed time.
Drink Mona Vie. This is a juice mixture especially for digestive problems. It works wonderfully. It also helps with acid indigestion. Drink 2 ounces on an empty stomach twice a day. If this is too pricey, purchase Acai berry juice by Bolthouse, in the natural juice section of the market.
