    The very last thing you need in a constipated situation is a health care provider that’s not down to earth, is not understanding and who doesn’t seem to care. I wouldn’t be afraid to go see doc Chung if I had to and that’s a great review ☺️

    This might help some of you like it has helped me.
    1. I eat 20% fruit, 25% raw vegetables, 35% cooked vegetables and no more than 4 ounces of meat daily.
    2. Eliminate white processed flour products and went whole grain (learned to bake my own bread, one loaf per week).
    3. No chips of any kind (popcorn once in a while).
    4. A glass of pop once per week (usually on Saturday snack night).
    5. 32 oz of water daily, 4 oz of prune juice daily
    6. Exercise 15 min per day (walking, swimming, gardening etc.)
    The above has helped me as I now go every day and am losing 1 to 2 pounds a week of excess weight!!!

      Swallow at least 20 swallows of air don't burp or else you have to start all over again after 3 minutes swallow more air and that's all there is to it when it works let me know I was worried reading problems people were having with constipation a hole bottle of prune just worked to good then I thought of swallowing air as that is what I needed to do to push the hernia back in and it worked so I try it for the hell of it and went to the bath room leaving a dump simple

      Make a cup of strong coffee, and stir in 5 teaspoons of virgin olive oil. Does not taste as bad as you think!!!
      You will have a gentle result in 12-36 hours. Be patient.
      One oily coffee now keeps me regular for three days. This has succeeded when all manner of laxatives have failed in the past. TRY IT!!!!

    Warm prune juice is the answer. When I was backed up in Germany once I couldn't find prune juice in the supermarkets. But in the UK it is widely available. Pour a glass of prune juice and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Test the temperature with your finger. If necessary, put the glass back in for 10 seconds. Note that the juice should not be hot, and just lukewarm won't work either. Once you think you've hit the right temperature, drink it down in one go. This has an absolutely disgusting taste, but about an hour later you will start to feel like you're ready for the toilet. The effect of just one glass of prune juice can last for several hours, so be prepared to visit the toilet more than once. Especially useful to remember if you decide to go shopping.

    I was soooooooo happy to have come across your video. I have had IBS-C since i was 5. I cannot tell you how many times i went to the ER with hideous pain. I have had all the tests and they always come back normal and it is just IBS-C. I suffered to the extreme. Then 3 yrs ago i thought to myself that if you are impacted the doc will remove it manually. Ppl have anal sex. So i tried to dig it out with a glove on and it worked really well and have been doing it ever since. Seems all it is was it just wouldn't come out so all that was needed was to get a little out and the rest would follow. It has been Heaven sent. I call it THE CURE. I am a 76 yr old female.

    Vegetarian for 51 years, eating a lot of whole grains, fruit, vegetables. But now and then I get constipated. I learned when I was 21 that part of it is some kind of emotional thing. I remember writing a paper for college. Once I finished writing the paper (not typing it as in the old days you had to do but finishing with the creative part), I would need to run to the bathroom. Whenever my mother or sister would call me, I would have to run to the bathroom. Finishing things can do it. When I need to take something, I like AloeLax with fennel. That always helps.

      If I didnt, I'd have to get a suppository, if

    I have a bidet that I bought from Amazon. It helps to get rid of the stucked poop. I slowly turn the water on aiming it down there and slowly I will increase the water pressure. It helps a lot and I thought it is much better than the finger. Everybody has their ways but whatever it works that is fine. I stopped eating white rice, white bread. Tamarind juice homemade and I add Monkfruit sugar to sweetened the juice

    Doc: I have used my finger with a glove before. Because of hemmroids, blood came out. It was not easy, but my finger broke off the stools allowing my poop to come out. I was in a desperate condition and I did what I thought I had to do and found relief. I had to recoop but everything settled down and return to normal. Thanks for sharing the finger technique and for your detailed explanations concerning constipation. Thank you

    There are health practitioners that do a procedure called high colonic. It is an effective enema, cleaning out the entire colon. It is done with tubing and tanks so that there is no odor, and they cover you for privacy. A gentle abdominal massage is done , which helps move things along. I get one done every few years, and feel really great afterwards. I always wondered why they didn’t do them in hospitals when patients have constipation post surgery.

      In big cities, they come a dime a dozen. I've tried it once, and I didn't like it all all, in fact, I think they can often do more damage than they claim to "fix." There are many more ways of cleaning your colon that this, believe me. Just look for natural remedies on the internet.

    I have found my bidet toilet seat has been wonderful in helping with constipation. My model has an enema setting, which helps get things started. I had a handyman put a electric plug near the toilet, as the models with enema setting are electric. It's also very soothing on a sore bottom.

    If you're from SE Asia like me with some lactose intolerance then cold milk works. Anal douche is very effective for me but I've only needed to use it several times. You can buy an attachment to screw onto the shower hose, be careful not to turn on the water too strongly and test the temperature first. Do not let too much water in each time and it works after a few seconds. Have a bowl ready to avoid messing up the shower floor. As for medication lactulose works gently as stool softener. Some people with chronic constipation have lost the contractility of the bowel muscles so senna might not be so effective.😮

    I've also used salt as a laxative. You have to eat a LOT, like a couple of teaspoons at once dissolved in plenty of water. And then wait like 30 minutes or so. It basically gives you diarrhea which moistens/lubricates the stuck poop. Use at your own risk if you have high blood pressure or other conditions that would make it dangerous to eat so much salt. I have the opposite problem (my blood sodium tends to run too low, and my body gets rid of sodium MUCH too fast), so I have to eat a lot of salt to avoid cramps, which is how I inadvertently discovered this trick. Might be a lifesaver since pretty much everyone has salt at home but you might not have another type of laxative on hand, or you might have already run through the ones you do have.

    You should avoid any straining! By taking castor oil the bowel movement will occur without this one and even after having taken this one for decades you will not have any problems with a habituation or a weakening effect for castor oil works not directly in the intestines by irritating them like all the other laxatives but indirectly by activating or synthesizing certain substances in the human body; 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil taken early in the morning on an empty stomach will be sufficient.
