I honestly feel so blessed because I have never experienced constipation but while my husband was having chemo he really suffered from it, it looked so painful. I felt so bad for him having to deal with that on top of everything else he was having to go through. I worked with a woman once who was proud of the fact she only had one BM once a week and only just one. I can't even imagine. I have two at least, per day. Nicely formed ... sorry TMI. Even my dogs have great BMs lol, I home cook for them. It's so important to have a clean colon.

I have spina bifida so I've had issues with my bowel since birth. I've tried nearly everything. Milk of magnesia, fybogel, metamucil, laxatives, bowel flushing, eating more fibre and vegetables. Nothing worked. Vegetables just bunged me up. I've finally cured my chronic constipation. What I do is eat 5 to 6 pieces of fruit a day and a probiotic yoghurt. Fruit for breakfast and dinner. I will eat whatever i like for lunch. I take two magnesium citrate capsules every day and two digestive enzymes. I'm now going daily or every other day. Before I would go once a week or once every two weeks.

Thank you so much. I will save this. I caretake for an elderly person who had a stroke and she has diabetes. I cannot get her to take all of the things they tell me to give her for her constipation, but I can try some of these things. She will not have much consistency, but let me see if this helps. I have also heard that magnesium works.

Some exercise like walking each day works wonders. Some fiber everyday…everyday, should be a great help.

I use coconut oil suppositories, and I retain it during the night. I am wearing a pad to catch any leakage that may occur. In the morning, I take a warm water cleansing enema.

How many prunes is 1-2 servings?

@kayeruss7313 2 ай бұрын

The packaging might give you a base amount, and then you might adjust from there for what works best.

All Bran cereal works well too. It would be good along with some prunes. You can mix the All Bran cereal with other cereals for a better flavor. Hope this helps.
