I've tried so many things that just don't work for me. I second the pear and apple, with skins, a day that someone suggested earlier. I perform a manual bowel massage that a therapist taught me. That helps but can sometimes be painful. I'm struggling with constipation that is so bad now that I failed my colon prep for a Colonscopy. Very frustrating after a liquid diet for four days with copious prep solutions, dulcolax. So any more hints folks have I'm all ears. Good luck, it's so disheartening.

So sorry for your troubles. Constipation is a serious problem!
Have you tried OTC suppositories?
Sounds to me like you need to be under a doctor's care at this point.
By the way, how does a mathemetician handle his constipation problem?
He works it out with a pencil.

Hi my name is Robin, I’m the same way. My constipation is so bad I have tried everything, I am now trying mineral oil. I am hoping it works. Please let me know if you have tried this if you have not, try 1-3 tablespoons of mineral oil in something hot to drink. Try it at night before bed and let me know how it goes for you and I will do the same.
