Problem needs fixing: Each person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then things people try are vegetables, water, fiber-plus-water, prune juice, prunes, polyethylene glycol, Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... A doctor may evaluate and consider meds like Linzess.
