Try taking a juice size glass of Aloe Vera Gel just before going to bed. I use Lily of the Desert, Inner Fillet. I buy it by the gal, but there are smaller sizes if you would like to try it first. I order on line from Walmart, but I'm sure Amazon has it also.
You might be interested to know that the Mayo Clinic & The Cleveland Clinic both suggest using aloe vera juice for all digestive problems. I have been using it for years for various reasons and grew my own and have always used the gel. It's important when using the fresh leaves that you remove the green outer part of the leaf, next wipe away the latex which is slimy, and you end up with the precious GEL.
It didn't help me either; in fact, made me worse since every brand I could find had citric acid in it which I'm allergic to (and causes constipation too).
I'm sorry to hear that because I have been using aloe vera gel for many months.
I had all the symtoms of colon cancer, and said I wanted a colonosphy. I didnt have cancer, but all the symtoms were still there including constipation. Since the Mayo Clinic suggested aloe vera I starting using the gel. It took a week or two, but has worked just great ever since, but it didn't improve over night.
The only other thing I could suggest is a retraining of the bowels discribed in a book "Better Health througjh Natural Healing.". I tried that & it worked for quite a period of time, but would have had to do it all over again, but have found the aloe vera gel to work for me consistly. I will type out the procedure in the the book if you can't locate the book and are interested.

Read the other suggestion for tjanet re: Better Health through Natural Healing. I know how horrible this is to live with so willing to help if I can. One nurse told me to take 3 Magnesium Softgels before bed. Didn't help me, so I am trilled that I finally found something that does.

My health condition is short gut syndrome so the medication for my diarrhea causes constipation so coconut water with a little fruit juice helps me with the constipation. I also have a history of electrolytes imbalance because of diarrhea and constipation.
For the past 10 years, I have had severe constipation problems. I tried many medicines, and I have gone through 3 times endoscopy but discovered nothing. From 2015 till now my constipation problem couldn't be solved. To make it worse now I'm having multiple internal haemorrhoids due to this constipation. I don't know why I'm having this constipation problem.Many people suggested many things like changing diets, taking a lot of fibre intake, reducing stress, quit smoking. I burp a lot and do have acid reflux as well but now it is getting better. What is the best solution for my constipation?
I have been drinking one glass of cumins water ( boil one table spoon of cumin seeds with one liter of water)in an empty stomach in the morning. Have no problem ever since.

I had constipation and my doctor said I was dehydrated. She recommended electrolytes daily plus 8 glasses of water daily - I've been taking Electro-pH complex from Apex Energetics - 1 scoop daily plus Adding fiber to your diet is a very good suggestion - if you like smoothies, add 2-4 TB chia seeds; google fruits and vegetables high in fiber and you'll find helpful lists too.
I have been on laxatives for a month now because of constipation. Tried more fiber, Metamucil, didn't work at all.
I got a routine in the morning eating one spoon of honey, a cup of warm water, and a few fennel seeds, not to forget moving around and engage the muscles. If it looks to good to be true after using strong OTC medication, I just had to try to go back to more natural things. It worked for me, so I wanted to share the information to be helpful to someone else dealing with the constipation. Please do your research on fennel to see if it would be beneficial to you.

Thanks for sharing about constipation. Appreciate going natural + as I have found having a redundant colon, we need to form fit our regularity regime to us personally. For me psyllium husks didn't work even though I tried it often and it was recommended over and over along with other laxatives.
Regularity-go-to: when stressed or I don't drink enough water is coffee (don't like or usually drink it) or Smooth Move. I avoid constipating foods + eat regularity foods like rhubarb, prunes, ground soaked flax and chia seeds, carob powder, etc. + exercise and stay active at 70+ years
Thanks again, TO REGULARITY NATUALLY, @farmersmith

Good to know. Fennel is also a diuretic. It's amazing how many natural things are out there without all the side effects.
