Lots of fiber.

Guaranteed and it's good for your colon's health.

ya, this is the best thing you can do. most anti-constipation pills are mostly fiber anyway.

you can grab some Fiber pills at any store...After hearing horror stories from my brother about colon cancer and hemerroids, I think everyone should be downing fiber pills daily. (Don't overdo it though, b/c too much fiber can actually cause constipation)

Coconut Milk is a natural laxative.

Also, prune juice and foods with higher soluable fibers such as fruits and vegetables. (ie. Butternut Squash, blackberries...)

How?

Bananas are used when you have the runs. If you have diarrhea, use the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast). For constipation, you want lots of fiber (oats, beans, psyllium husks, whole grains, raw fruits and vegetables etc.), yogurt (probiotics), etc.

Go to a health store and get some psyllium husk capsules. DO NOT get the powder that you mix with a drink, unless you like throwing up.

That's usually only a problem when you take large amounts of fiber supplements without consuming adequate fluids.
