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.

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

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,
