Drink plenty: If you are that constipated, you need to drink plenty of water( 6-8 glasses of water per day), try using magnesium citrate and use Dulcolax and the like . Follow instructions and modify your diet, increase fibers, be sure to go three times a day to avoid consquence of chronic constipation. See your doctor, be sure you dont have colon cancer etc.

Diet and miralax (polyethylene glycol): Firstly, to avoid constipation you should eat a high fiber diet with plenty of water intake. Otherwise you can take 17 grams of MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) daily for a few days. This will help you have a soft bowel movement.
