Constipation?: If things are serious a bottle of magnesium citrate should clear the pathway. If less urgent there are many preparations - docusate, senna, milk of magnesia, (magnesium hydroxide) bisacodyl, lactulose, and plain old hydration ( although this does not work well if you are already constipated).
