Needs Eval: There are several causes of constipation. These are most often diet related. First line treatment is a bulking agent like fiber. Next would be stimulants and stools softeners like colace (docusate sodium) and senna. Enemas or suppositories are effective but will only evacuate the stool in the rectum. Be sure to increase fluids with all treatments. Be sure to discuss with your doc.
