constipation is result of chemical change or malfunction of stomach. inhalation and exhalation is one important excercise not only for breathing but also for lungs and entire good functioning of the system. drink more water before you eat. that will remove gas and other abnormalities before you start eating. water and air is necessary for everything.

Human Digestive System - Constipation - Lack of regular bowel movements
have you not tried yet any kinds of laxatives and suppositories. there are commercial brands of these. usually i use suppositories containing bisacodyl. glycerin suppositories are believed to have their effect by irritating the rectum. the insertion of the finger into the rectum when the suppository is placed may itself stimulate a bowel movement. the next time you feed your kid, try fruits and vegetables rich in fibers.

thanks a lot. I will check that out in the market. My baby is having a hard time. She is constipated. I don't know why or is it because of her milk?

Mineral Oil works great for babies. I just sneak it in my baby's food, and he really can't even tell, but if that doesn't work you can just give it to them straight, although that is a bit messier, and mineral oil tends to stain. I am unsure of the dosage, I know we give our son a teaspoon a day when he's constipated, you can ask your pharmacist though, they'll know better.

I dont know anything when it comes to babys. Yet, with adults, I am quite sure that drinking a black tea.. will not only releave you of constipation but also make sure to clean you stomach of all foulness.
