Fast and simple
Kara in NY, USA -
Really really easy just eat chili with lots of beans in it. Its yummy and you'll feel better by the next day. Or if you really gotta go drink a cup of black coffee and a large bottle or two of water this should work within a few hours.
Coffee is a dyaretic so it makes your body gotta go water helps lubricate and soften things up. Chili works because beans have lots of fiber.

A healthy way to cure constipation
Kara in Florida -Take probiotics every day, preferrably ones with at least 8 different strains (you can order them online at the vitamin shoppe, vitacost, etc.). This is the best cure around and your immune system will also work better.

Please let me poop...
Momma in California -I was backed up for weeks at a time, I would go to the doctor and of course they had nothing for me. So this is what I tried and it works...
For breakfast eat a PEELED ruby red grapefruit. It is important to eat the white part of the skin that sticks to the fruit and a piece of whole grain fiberous bread. Eat very lightly at lunch and for dinner eat 3oz meat seasoned only with salt and pepper, green beens and a FRESH BEET! yes a beet. Prepare the fresh beet by boiling for 30 min. unless you like them crunchy, just dive in.
It is a bland diet, but look out below in the morning...I am telling you this will work!! Don't be surprised if your stool or urine is pinky/purple from the beet. Both grapefruit and beets are natural antioxidnts with loads of natural fiber.

Sea salt
Diana in Colorado -I avoided salt because I believed all the negative salt propaganda I did everything. high fiber just about kept me going but still difficult. Then I learned about the virtues of unrefined sea salt I was eating healthy non processed foods. I increased my salt intake and kept my water drinking up I always did that. Bingo no more trouble it also helped cure my husbands high blood pressure.

For a quick fix one level teaspoon to 8 ounces of water repeat again at night if needed. drink enough water afterwards too.

Organic Mini-Wheats
mlj3 in Tuscaloosa, AL -I bought a box of these because I love frosted mini-wheats and thought I'd go even healthier and try organic. They were so good I ate half the box (in milk) in one morning! Later that day, I started wondering if I may be getting a stomach virus because I'd had about 5 BM's. It wasn't until the next day that I realized it was the organic mini-wheats!! I rarely have constipation, but I'll never forget to reach for them if I do!!

Probiotics
Bob in Washington State, USA -Take a probiotic supplement (loads of “friendly” bacteria) so that your intestinal tract (lining) can repair itself. You’ll need something that has a variety of types of “friendly” bacteria – not just 2 or 3 strains that most off-the-shelf yogurt contains.
Find a supplement that contains close to 15 billion (yes, billion) active cells per dose and as many strains as possible – say, 12-15 or more. Take these religiously and be patient. There are many sources out there. Scrutinize them and find a good one. I like “Flora Source TM“ a probiotic manufactured by Nutri-Health TM Supplements of Cottonwood, AZ. There number is 1-800-914-6311. I have no financial interest in directing you to Nutri-Health TM. Whether you use this product or another high quality probiotic – start this regimen right away and you should get some relief.

Alfalfa Capsules
Laurie in North Texas -All my life I've had a sluggish elimination system. I've tried everything, from acidophilus products, Fibersure, Citracell, Flax, prune juice, but nothing seemed to help for more than a few weeks if at all. Sometimes would go for 5-6 days without eliminating. The only thing I have found that keeps me regular are alfalfa capsules. Alfalfa is a wonderful source of fiber, countless vitamins and minerals, as well as great for the lymphatic system. Started taking them as part of a health regimen to help with cellulite elimination which seems to be working too! (Go to www.t-tapp.com for more info). You can find them online or in healthfood stores. These have definitely helped me in more than one area!

Magnesium
Anonymous in Bronx, NY -My doctor recommended taking a teaspoon of magnesium with 8 oz. of warm water or juice and it really worked. I took powdered magnesium, mixed it with hot water so it dissolved than added more liquid. My doc recommended taking it every half hour until not needed anymore. I found it very helpful.
