Accepted Answer

suppositories and enemas may help solve your constipation.    These are available over-the-counter.   What you are describing is called a rectal stool impaction, and needs to be softened/ loosened to allow the stool to pass.    If you start vomiting, develop abdominal pain or are passing blood, see a physician.

Cases is it is not enough fiber, not enough fluids and excess caffeine and alcohol. Also some medications contribute to constipation and thus your fluid intake needs modification to offset the constipating effects of the meds.

Quickest way to cure constipation may not necessarily be the best way because constipation varies in duration, from person to person and can be caused by  many conditions.  There are many OTC remedies one can try initially and if they do not do the job see the PCP or Gastroenterologist for help. For prevention adding High fiber foods & probiotics could be quite helpful.

Question 8

Quickest way to get rid of constipation without laxatives?

Accepted Answer

The colon has 2 functions-one is to store poop, the other is to extract water if you are not drinking enough during the day. Therefore, try to increase your fluid intake. Water is best. Fruits contain water in them, as well as fiber-which helps bulk up the stools so they don't become trapped like bricks in there. You can look at the color of your pee to decide if you're hydrated-lite yellow/clear.

Question 9

What causess constipation and how can prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Foods high in fat tend to constipate you. Foods high in fiber favor looser stools. Fruits vegetable, whole grains are excellent sources of fiber. Also, fiber only works if u are well hydrated. Drink plenty of non-caffinated, non-alcoholic fluids to keep stools soft. Fiber can also be added to a glass of water. If this does not work see a GI specialist, there may be another cause of your issu.
