Any suggestions to help with constipation??

2 days no bm. Drinking lots of water and tried warm prune juice and water . Also taking a colace daily.. Nothing seems to be working.

I don't have much to offer in addition, but what about bicycling the legs toward the belly?

Yoga worked for me today.  Miraculously my lower back no longer hurts also (thanks to the bm)

Hi..I had that problem a month or so ago and I was advised to buy sprouted flax seed.  It HAS to be sprouted.  You can get it at a natural food market, Whole Foods, ect.  I was told to add a tablespoon 1-2 times a day to anything that makes sense (smoothies, yogurt, ice cream, soup)  It doesn't really taste like anything and it WORKS!  I have been using it every since and now I am back to my old "regular" self.

Colace is just a stool softener so you need to up your daily fiber intake.  Whether you do it through eating high fiber foods or taking a supplement like Metamucil.  Just make sure to drink lots of water.

My DH's grandmother told me to cut a lemon in half squeeze all the juice out into a small glass of water ... No sugar no nothin... Tastes terrible but it worked within about 24 hours : ) GL!
