A member asked:
Any over-the-counter help for someone with constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Constipation is a very common problem. You can increase dietary fiber, add metamucil, drink extra amounts of fluids and there are laxatives available. All pharmacies have a section devoted to this condition. If this is happening repeatedly, or seemingly is unstoppable, you need to ask your family doctor for help and to rule out anything more serious.
