Err... any advice to avoid constipation?

Plenty of water and a slice of papaya once a day will regulate it. if you dont have time to go to the gym try to buy a massaging device and massage your legs, especially on the knee part, front, back and upper part of the knee. I learn this from reflexologists and it's effective to me as I also sit long hours infront of my pc. occasional spa massage will also help. Hope you feel better soon. Cheers!!

Drink lots of water and eat flax seeds!

Soak a handful of raisins overnight just run it in the mixie add a cup of hot water and take this as soon as you wake up.Drink lots of hot water too when you wake up.This again helps.

I think eating lots of fibre is the way forward, but you also need to greatly increase your fluid intake, as when the fibre is inside your digestive system, it needs to absorb fluid to pass through you properly. If you aren't drinking enough, the fibre will absorb what little fluid it can from your body, yet that won't be enough for it to soften and pass through you effectively - it'll be too hard, and hence you probably would become constipated instead of it having the opposite effect. Try at least doubling your fluid intake, and if that doesn't work, maybe just have a little medical checkup to make sure there's not another reason for the constipation? I hope it cures for you soon.

Constipation is bad once frequently happening to you. My advice is for you to seek medical help. Talk to your family doctor about your constipation. Maybe he can give you good diet on how to avoid foods that leads to constipation. You had a very sensitive stomach or digestive bowel. Constipation rarely happen to me. So I consider my self lucky.

hi there!! usually doctors advise is to increase your fiber diet and fluid intake. another thing that you can do is to move around or walk to let that intestine move eventhough they have voluntary movement called peristalsis, however immobilization can attribute to constipation. age also contributes to this problem. as a person grew older the stomach becomes atrophied. a solution for it is to eat frequent small meals allowing the food to be digested first before eating another meal. eat lots of vegetables and fruits and eat meat in moderation. ohh i forget.. if your taking iron supplement this will also contibute to your constipation.. hope this helps..

I know of one which helps me, and its eating some ripe papaya.

There are many things you can eat that will get things working, one I know works for a few people is a handfull of cashew nuts every day...its worth a try and better than some of the things you can buy from the chemist.

my mum used to give me a big spoonful of 'liquid paraffin', prunes, licquorice and plenty of water. Apparently there is a specific 'squatting' position that helps to ease the passing , as it were - all in the angle of the knee to body I think. Hope everything comes out alright in the end ;-)
