What is the best medicine for constipation?!
Question: If it's chronic, which I have, the best thing that I've found so far, is "Dannon Activia": it's a yogurt, which you need to eat every day.
The supermarkets have it in 4-container packs: eat one of these every day. You may not get results immediately, but will at the very least within two weeks.
And you can't skip a day: it must be consumed on a regular, continuous basis for it to work: BUT, it really works.
If you only experience constipation periodically, the best thing that I've found, is "Senna" tea: but be careful, it is very strong stuff.
Good luck,
Alberich

I like prunes or prune juice for this - tastes really yummy and it works gently.
Metamucil works like a charm
Oatmeal, Broccoli, Prunes, Prune Juice, and/or many Apples. Oh yes- don't forget lots and lots of water!
Bingeing on prunes, mandarins or oranges for a few days might help.
apple juice, water, prune juice or prunes, be careful with laxatives as prolonged use or repeated use can cause dependency on them.
try peppermint tea or if u get really desperate a KFC clears u out in half an hour lol
Aloe vera juice.
natural but stinky : garlic!

Whole foods, bran muffins (trader joes has some with 13g fiber - called "fiber cakes" at least in San Diego they do - they work great...) especially drink a lot of water and if you have psyllium whole husks, these work great as long as you drink a lot of water with it or it will make it worse, so start with a small amount of husks and a large amount of water.
