Natural Constipation Relief to Save Money!



Constipation relief happens when you find the right products that work well for your body. Its always important to properly excrete what you consume.

When excess waste products are not eliminated from your body regularly, (constipation), it floods toxins back into your body. Those toxins have no where to go so they build up in the fat cells.

Aside from that, anyone who suffers from constipation knows that it can truly make your life miserable.

You just have a better day when you have a really good bowel movement. Its a subject that's not talked about enough but it's the truth!

When you have proper elimination, you feel lighter, less stuffy, and you just have a better day. Even mild constipation can affect your performance during the day and can cause all kinds of other problems such as acne, unexplained rashes, loss of appetite, elevated temper, flu like symptoms, mood swings, and loss of energy. Constipation can literally suck the life right out of you. That's why its so important to address the problem before it becomes chronic or acute.

Occasional Constipation Relief



  • Take 2 stool softener soft gels in the morning. Before bedtime, take around 1/2 - 1 T. of Natural Fiber Powder like Metamucil,(or generic brand), mixed in an 8-10 oz. water. Use any kind with 100% natural psyllium husk fiber.

    Buy the generic brands if you ! Generic brands consist of basically the same ingredients and will cost a lot less money!

    It’s very important to get the right amount of fiber and water with this mixture. Using too much water can make the mixture less effective. Not using enough fiber has the same outcome.

  • Drink plenty of pure water during the day and before drinking the mixture.

  • Allow the mixture sit just a few minutes before drinking it, the mixture has time to get 'a little bit' thick.

    This 'thickness' in the mixture is what helps to sweep the bowels down the intestinal tract. Your body does not digest fiber. Many people who have tried fiber supplements complain that they cause extra gas and bloating. When you take fiber before bedtime, it eliminates the uncomfortable feeling you can get from them because you'll be asleep and won't notice if you do.

  • Don’t drink too much after taking any fiber supplement though. It will only dilute it and render it less effective. Do drink about 1/2 glass of water afterward though.

    Take the mixture just before bedtime.

    For constipation relief, try stool softeners and Natural Fiber Supplements separately. Try getting supplements that have 'natural', 'high fiber' or 'bulk forming' on the label.

    This combination seems to be the right combination taken at different times of the day. They are inexpensive alternatives that eliminate chemical laxatives which just aren't good for your health!

  • Use common sense. Different body types, weights, and bowel problems require different amounts of each supplement.

  • Use these suggestions as guidelines for yourself and adjust them to your needs.

  • Give this some time to work. Your own constipation problems didn't happen overnight. It may take your body time to adjust. Don’t think that constipation relief will just happen overnight.

    If you've ever tried stool softeners before and they didn't help, did you really give them a chance to work? Many people don't notice an immediate difference, so they give up. If this sounds like you, won't you give them another chance. They really can help!

    These supplements are clearly much easier on your system and will help you get constipation relief the natural way!

    PRECAUTION: Please always check with your physician about taking stool softeners and natural fiber powders. There are precautions on the bottles for both of these products and you should read those and understand them fully before use.

    Chronic Constipation Relief

    If you are constipated more than twice a week, you have chronic constipation. It's not good to take laxatives often or fiber supplements all the time. The best choice for constipation suffers, is to take probiotics, which restore the natural flora in your intestinal tract.

    Use active culture probiotics. Probiotics, which are digestive enzymes, helps to restore the natural flora that are meant to be in high supply in your lower intestines. Make sure the products you buy have at least 2 billion or more active digestive enzymes. Without them, waste products do not get eliminated regularly, and that can cause bowel impaction. Once bowels are impacted, defecating becomes much more difficult. If you think you have impacted bowels, take a 'safer' laxative like Milk of Magnesia immediately, then start on the probiotics again, after you get constipation relief.

    Constipation Relief from the Refrigerator

    Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Select a variety of fruits and vegetables, including sweet potatoes, apples, berries, apricots, peaches, pears, oranges, prunes, corn, peas, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. These foods have lots of fiber. Opt for fresh produce rather than juice. Most juices contain a lot of sugar and sugar dehydrates your body.

  • Apples - Eat an hour before any meal to prevent constipation.

  • Apple juice, apple cider - These are natural laxatives for many people. Drink up and enjoy!

  • Bananas - These may relieve constipation. Try eating two ripe bananas between meals. Avoid green bananas because they're constipating.

  • Raisins - Eat a handful daily, an hour after a meal.

  • Rhubarb - This is a natural laxative. Cook it and eat it sweetened with honey, or bake it in a pie. Or, create a drink with cooked, pureed rhubarb, apple juice, and honey.

  • Acai Berry - Acai Berry products are a super antioxidant that has amazing healing powers. Try Sambazon Acai Power Scoop and mix your own! You'll get much more bang for your buck!

    Constipation Relief From the Kitchen Cabinet

  • Sesame seeds - These seeds provide roughage and bulk, and they soften the contents of the intestines, which makes elimination easier. Eat no more than 1/2 ounce daily, and drink lots of water as you take the seeds. You may also sprinkle them on salads and other foods. Eat no more than 1/2 ounce. Sesame is also available in a butter or paste and in Middle Eastern dips, such as Tahini.

  • Garlic - In the raw, it has a laxative effect for some people. Eat garlic mixed with onion, raw or cooked, and with milk or yogurt for best results. (Obviously you wouldn't combine all of these things together.) A good example of how to combine them would be to make a fresh salad with garlic and onion in it, and then have a glass of milk or a tub or yogurt to go with it. Another good thing to include in your diet is simply raw onions. I really like to put them on my sandwich at lunch time. They really help get things going!

  • Honey - Honey has been used as a very mild laxative. Try taking 1 tablespoon three times a day, either by itself or mixed into warm water. If it doesn't work on its own, you may have to pep it up by mixing it half and half with blackstrap molasses. Keep in mind, however, that honey (like molasses) is high in calories, so use it as an occasional laxative, not a daily preventative.

  • Oil Olive, coconut, safflower, soybean, or other natural oils have a lubricating action in the intestines. Take 2 to 3 tablespoons a day, when you need it. It’s not good to take them everyday though because too much oil can raise cholesterol levels. When you increase your intake of oils, balance the calories you consume. Otherwise, you risk packing on more weight. If you don't like taking oil straight from the spoon, mix the oil with herbs or lemon juice.

  • Vinegar - Mix 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon honey in a glass of water, and drink.

    While your diet is most likely the primary change you need to make for constipation, there are some other lifestyle changes that can also help. It just might be that you are constipated because you have a build up of parasites in your intestinal tract or that you are extremely toxic.

    Whatever you do, make sure you get the constipation relief you need. Constipation is a serious medical condition and should be treated as such.

    Always consult your physician before using natural remedies, especially for anyone with preexisting conditions or anyone currently taking prescription medications. Although many efforts are made to ensure that the advice given on this site is professionally sound, the advice is not intended to replace a mutual relationship with a medical provider.
