Constipation: What helps?

I have a prescription from my doctor.

Coconut water with a little 100% fruit juice helped my constipation.
Miralax makes my constipation worse.

Some people can't handle a high fiber diet.
Lack of fluids can also cause constipation some people are not able to absorb enough fluids into their body.

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.

I think you mean lactulose?

Yes

I have tried aloe vera juice and it didn't help any.

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.
