What's your favorite remedy for constipation?

Prune juice? Magnesium supplements? Drugstore laxatives?

Magnesium supplements do the trick for me. I take one every other day.

Constipation has never been one of my ailments, OP.

Coffee mixed with prune juice. Definitely stay close to a bathroom.

Yes Magnesium citrate, I believe. Thats the magnesium that works on it. You can't just say Magnesium because there are so many types.

Trader Joe's Hi-Fiber cereal. That's the only thing that's worked well enough for me. Magnesium citrate does nothing.

Are you on ozempic and can't poop?

Use enema, that's what my friend had to use when she was constipated and on ozempic

Slow-cook oatmeal with 6 to 10 chopped prunes in it

Psyllium husk powder stirred into a tall glass of juice

Opioid/painkiller meds can cause severe constipation; try to wean off of these if it’s a problem

Miralax twice a week to avoid constipation. And at least 8 glasses of water per day.

My GI doctor told me to put one rounded teaspoon of Miralax in a glass of hot water with lemon juice and drink it first thing every morning. Make sure you eat fresh vegetables like brussel sprouts and broccoli, salads. and avoid sweets, red meat, alcohol, and caffeine.

Buy some prunes. One in the morning every day. Maybe two.

Daily morning doses of Metamucil, prunes, and being fucked while I’m doing a headstand. In my mud room.

by Anonymousreply 27July 18, 2025 3:54 AM

When you're constipated you do not take Metamucil. It will bind you up. Take Colace, a stool softener, and maybe a couple of prunes at bed time. But never take Metamucil when your constipated, or any other fiber supplent. The good thing about Miralax is when you use it like my GI doctor suggested, it helps balance the moisture in the colon and aids in having regulate bowel movements. Of course you can use more and it's a laxative, but I don't use it that way. It keeps me regular.

by Anonymousreply 28July 18, 2025 4:02 AM

Metamucil can be somewhat effective but you cannot take too much and you need to drink a significant amount of water.

I prefer a supplement I get from Swanson - Senna, Cascara and Psyllium Complex.

I do sometimes also use a gentle laxative or stool softener (both Walmart and Target have cheap versions of both.)

Miralax with Gatorade. It is basically a colonoscopy prep.

Actual prunes. They're delicious.

I eat an orange a day, preferably Cara Cara.

Prunes work but the Sunsweet ones are covered in honey or something sweet so be careful. I believe the package says 5 is a serving but I eat 2 or 3 when needed.

Mineral oil is what my Grandmother used to use. It tastes god awful is hard to swallow but it does work.

I will use Magnesium Citrate if I haven't shit in 2 or 3 days. I don't usually need to drink the whole bottle.

Dulcolax chews work as well but I find that they mess me up a day or 2 after I use them. Like they use too much of the moisture in my colon.

I'm on Mounjaro and rarely have days when I'm constipated.

Some people swear by White Castle sliders.

Prune juice. It is delicious and I would drink it every day if it didn’t make me shit so much.

However, since I started having a bowl of hot oat bran cereal almost every day, I am rarely backed up.

R39 Funny you mention that. I went to a questionable Asian buffet for my father's birthday many years ago, came back and then decided to go for a walk with my neighbor's little Pomeranian. I ran back home with the dog in my arms as fast as Usain Bolt so I wouldn't end up shitting in the street like in the movie Bridesmaid. Got home, threw the dog on the couch (she landed on her feet), ran upstairs, my cat was lying on the bathroom carpet. When he heard the sound coming out of my ass, he jumped in the air, probably thought it was WW III and we had just been bombed. I was on the shitter for an hour, on and off.

Sugar free candy is horrendous for you. It is full of sugar alcohols (hard on the liver) and fake fiber. Just have real candy but less of it.

Sugar alcohols give me so much gas I can't go anywhere without farting loudly every 30 seconds. I can't even hold the farts in.
