Change your diet and: Fluids. Eat a high fiber diet between 20-25 grams per day, regular meal times and drink 80-100 oz of caffeine free alcohol free fluids daily. If you exercise and should add 20 oz per 30 minutes of strenuous exercise. Some meds contribute to constipation so take the meds with full glass of fluid instead of a sip in addition to the above recommended fluids.

Several. Things : Constipation can be caused by numerous different things. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is a safe laxative to use to help you at home. However you should consider seeing a doctor to evaluate this further for you and hopefully help you in the long run.
