For constipation: try Senna. Senna is a very safe natural plant product with a wide dosage range. Start by taking 2 tablets at bedtime, if you do not have a comfortable bowel movement (BM) the next day, take 4 tablets the next night. You can continue to increase the dose by 1-2 tablets every 2-3 nights until you have a comfortable BM every day. Once you find the dose that works for you, continue it every day.
