It all depends upon the cause of your constipation.
As a doctor, i prescribe fibre, bananas, and any food rich in fibre to induce boewl movements. Fibre always is the best choice, since it has less side effects. Get any over the top medication for constipation that has loads of husk and fibre, it will work. Otherwise you need medicines, medicines which have side effects.
Another way could be drinking caffiene, or loads of luke warm water in the morning.
Stress usually causes constipation, but you must remember constipation in itself isnt harmful, but it can contribute to other disorders which are harmful. So avoid constipation if possible. And include more fibre in your food. Srey replied. Have you ever heard of the \" Master cleanse\"

worth a shot: (I fast for 3 days on this...)

2 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemons
2 tablespoon of 100% maple syrup
1/8 of teaspoon of cayenne pepper

Mix it with 8 oz of water...and drink. sandya replied. dd,
no need to be embarrassed. It' s a very common problem with plenty of natural solutions. The reason why you are constipated is b' cos your diet might be lacking in fiber. so, the soln would be to add fiber to your diet. How?

Eat as much as possible raw vegetables with their skin on. carrots, green peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, kheera, baby spinach(great for your health). Cook or steam vegetables with every meal you take. Eat whole wheat or multi grain breads. Eat cracked wheat instead of roti or rice. It' s packed with fiber.

Try eating dried prunes, cranberries, blueberries, raisins to add additional fiber to your day-to-day life.

Inspite of this, if you still feel constipated, then drink a small cup of prune juice everyday to relieve yourself.

Hope this helps.
