Hello thank you for contacting me I hope you have not been waiting for long.. I came across your question last evening..

Okay.. to begin.. very frequent .. mild exercise ..such as walking ..&.. then the consumption of 4 to 6 cups of fruit & veggies per day .. along with 8 to 10 glasses of water per day will solve simple constipation..

ground flaxseed .. is a wonderful way to get extra fiber in your diet.. adding it to say .. yogurt.. is quite yummy.. make sure you are getting enough fiber within your diet..

fiber is undigestible .. we do not have the enzymes to break down fiber..so it goes through the intestinal tract in tact.. absorbing.. toxins & excess sugars.. every gram of fiber potentially.. can absorb about 7-calories of sugar..

fiber cannot be digested.. &.. as it moves through the intestines it helps to strengthen .. the intestinal muscle..

try to increase your fiber intake.. 25-30 grams.. daily..

Fiber provides the bulk.. needed for peristalsis which is the wavelike motion the muscles create.. that moves the food through the intestines..

The bulk.. The fiber can create can give ... the ability for a good grip downwards .. I guess you could say.. sorry if that is unpleasant .. for the intestinal wall muscle.. as it trys to move the substances through.. this gripping action will strengthen the muscle within the intestinal wall..

Probiotics .. are organisms .. that contribute to the health of the intestinal tract .. they are the beneficial bacteria ..

helping to fight .. illness as well as disease.. The use of a
probiotics can keep your intestines clean.. illuminate bad breath caused by intestinal putrefaction... constipation .. foul smelling flatulence .. &.. aid in the treatment of acne & other skin problems as well as strengthen the immune system .. which.. weakens as we age..

You can expect a probiotic to help correct bowel.. problems including.. bloating .. constipation .. gas.. I would recommend Dr. O'hhira's Probiotics..

Magnesium supplementation may help relieve constipation .. as it relaxes your bowels & pulls water into your intestines. The water helps soften & bulk up your stool.. which can make it easier to pass.. taking 2- 200mg tablets.. before bed may help for the next morning.. however.. please remember.. if taken more then necessary.. you will have watery stools..

I hope this helps.. enjoy your day

A few options to discuss with your doctor could include: high dose probiotics, flaxseed oil, increased fluid, soluble fiber from food, such as oatmeal, apples, applesauce, pears and flaxseed meal. In addition, soluble fiber supplements add moisture and bulk to a dry stool. Consider the best options that fit your needs. Neurogenic issues with long-term constipation may be helped with acupuncture that regulates bowel function.

There are many natural ways to improve constipation from eating prunes to higher fiber diet to increasing water intake.There are just too many to list. Many of my patients have improved their symptoms by changing their diet. I recommend you search your favorite search engine for this question and I know you will find an abundance of information. I would recommend staying away from laxatives. Your body tends to need it, thus making the problem worse. Stool softeners are a better option. If you need a prescription strength medication, there are two made specifically for this issue which are Movantik and Relistor.
