eat nothing but bowls of all bran cereal - extra bran formula. If that doesnt ge tthe pipes moving in a day or two you have something seirously wrong.

In order for fiber to get down there and ease motion, he'd have to have motion to begin with.

a vacuum cleaner should do the job

Buddy.. I can understand your problem. I used to face it a few months back.

- Try having a banana everyday (if possible this should be your first food).
- Eat at least 2 servings of yogurt. This is an excellent remedy for constipation.
- Try be on a low fat, high in fiber diet. Try to eat a few carrots daily.
- Drink lots of water.

- If you are getting bowel movements just once a day, make it a practice to go the restroom at least twice a day. This will definitely help.

- Using toliet paper just worsens the wounds. Use water after you are done. (Preferably warm water).

Heh... I had a chicken sandwich from them last Thursday that was 100% uncooked in the middle... It's a damn good thing I caught it before I ate a bunch of it, or I might have had the opposite problem of the OP!

And yeah, suppositories are supposed to help this a lot, if you can stand jamming stuff up your butt. Prunes are a good solution too... Works every time for my son!

Get the extra-strength get-it-out-NOW, not the overnight relief, exlax stuff.

 

[WobbleWobble]

Try Senocot-S (S denotes stool softener). It's much easier on your body than Exlax and it's more "natural". My doctor told me you could use it regularly for months and not become dependent on it.

jesus man - go to a doctor. Go out and buy some 9-grain whole wheat bread - eat it for every meal!!

 

[Saulbadguy]

Fleet enema works very well. Cheap too.

 

[eakers]

a bowl of all-bran every morning should do it.

 

[OrByte]

THIS WILL WORK EVERYTIME
