Psyllium or others: Get labs done to determine the cause of constipation. Low thyroid can cause it and u correct that w thyroid meds. Meanwhile u can try prune juice, or psyllium ( metamucil) is pretty good. Others include senna or cola e. Try whatever works best for you. Everyone is different. Also eat more fiber. That will help a lot. Good luck!

Cure : For symptomatic treatment, increasing ones fluid (h2o), fiber intake (vegetables, fruits, etc.), altering your diet, and exercising may help. Prune or prune juice and types of herbal teas work more often than not. Functional bowel problems may require a different bowel regimen approach. See your doctor if the problem persists.

Diet and fluids: High fiber diet, and at least 80-100 ounces of caffeine free, alcohol free fluid daily, more if you exercise(20 ounces extra for every 30 min of strenuous activity) and more if you travel by planes frequently (20 ounces per hour of flying time).
