I remember reading a post on here a few weeks ago about how someone finally went to the bathroom. ?I've tried coffee, fiber, grapes, and nothing. ?I'm getting?desperate?here. ?Anyone have any good advice for what helps?

Benefiber is great. Works wonders for me.

I second the suggestions above but to keep things going on more of a regular basis I take take Metimucil tablets daily and have at least one FiberOne bar a day.  Things get bad if I skip those!

Prunes or dates

Prune juice is great, but it has to be warm to work for me.  I've also found that buttery popcorn (like at the movies) seems to do the trick.

Start drinking a small cup of prune juice every morning.  I was having the worst constipation and that is what the doctor told me to do and it has worked great.  I took it as soon as i got got home that day bc i needed to go and it worked in like 15 minutes.

As a person who is always constipated, the one thing that works miracles for me is EXERCISE. The prune juice, fiber one, etc. only softens the excrement--you gotta wiggle it out! (Sorry, I know that's gross). Seriously, try to exercise, even walk, for 30 minutes a day and I PROMISE you will see a huge difference in the way you feel!

apple juice and broccoli gave me sweet relief

I tried the hot water with lemon and that helped a little, but Citrucel is what really worked for me.  GL.

Eat TONS of fruits and veggies everyday.

Water and fruits/veggies are definitely the way to go. It doesn't work instantly but when they do you don't have to dread droppin the kids off at the pool

If you have already had that much fiber I would start having some water ....you may be stopping yourself up more without the water.

After not going for over a week, I finally went 3 times today!  I give credit to the 3 huge glasses of white grape juice I drank.
