Constipation

I HAVE NOTICE THAT FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS I BEEN REAL CONSTIPATED, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING, IN THE MORNINGS I TRY TO DRINK A LITTLE ORANGE JUICE AND THAT HELPS, BUT AT NIGHT I FEEL THAT I NEED TO GO AND I AM VERY CONSTIPATED, THE SUGGESTED DUCOLOX SUPPOSITORIES, I DO TAKE THEM BUT I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THEM EVERYNIGHT, I'LL TAKE THEM LIKE MAYBE 3X'S A WEEK, ANY SUGGESTIONS WHAT SHOULD I TAKE.....

Lots and Lots and lots of water !!!

Water is a very good source to flush your system.

I find that oatmeal helps a lot. I have also been taking a fiber suppliment from time to time (powder mixed with water) and that helps too. I have had to resort to the ocassional Correctall because of it. I seem to average a bowel movement every four days or so now and as long as it does not go any longer than that I seem to be ok.

Instead of orange juice try some prune juice.

And as the other poster said, get in lots of water, extra even - if you can handle it.

I hope that helps!
