Vit C, Mag, enemas: The simplest thing is to try a fleet enema, (sodium bisphosphate) available at any drug store. High doses of vit c and/or magnesium should also help. See http://bit.Ly/1ajdwbo if no results then go to er. But I do urge you to see a doctor for evaluation of why you are so constipated; you might have hypothryroidism, imbalances of intestinal flora etc. Make sure your diet has plenty of fiber and drink lots of water.
