Glycerin supp 1st: Sounds extremely unpleasant. There are OTC products like Miralax, (polyethylene glycol) docusate sodium (Colace), Magnesium citrate, ducolax, fleets enemas, Benefiber, Metamucil, Citracel...Drink sufficient water. Eat high fiber foods including raw vegetables and whole fruits, exercise, and if all else fails, even prunes, eat 1/2 box of FiberOne bars, guaranteed effective. Glycerin suppository works, too.
