Constipation: What helps you?

An idea, balance you potassium, sodium and magnesium (electrolytes) If you have a redundant colon maybe even take the combo once in the night too. A quart of warm water first thing in the morning and even a cup of coffee might help if you want to go sans meds? Good luck

My newest success is Linzess 290 in AM with Miralax. Wait 30 min for Linzess to work. Eat them Miralax again. Do miralax after each meal.

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?

Aside from all the supplements or meds that may help, exercise is highly important. Walking daily can help with slow motility. If you don’t exercise, start small - start with 15 minutes for a few days and work your way up to 30-60 minutes. Listen to music while you walk or an podcast which helps the time go by or have a friend join you. And be sure to hydrate.

In my view, the "best solution" depends on the individual. Not only is the working of your own body (and mind) an issue, there is the factor of how much time and money you want to throw at the problem. Some will do a lot of work to solve their constipation problem with lifestyle, diet and "natural" products. Others would like a pill. I am in the former camp.
