A member asked:

I am constipated and have heard olive oil is an effective remedy - would olive oil spray work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NOT!: Olive oil is NOT a remedy for constipation...unless you have steatorrhea! Increase fiber in your diet and water consumption. Things like psyllium husk and Metamucil are good fiber sources that really DO help with constipation.
