Enemas work wonders and provide instant relief

Also I just read about the chocolate milk that can also cause gas and problems in the stomach ecspecially like me if you have milk allergies try fruits also and exercise like others mentioned above.  Take care:)

I take fiber gummies daily try drinking lots of water always stay hydrated and if its really bad colace and miralax work wonders and can be taken together but always ask your dr if that's right for you even though those are safe during pregnancy also peopke say apple juice but that gives me gas tmi also my dr said causes more gas?? Hope this helped:)

I drink milk everyday, if I miss a day without drinking it, I don't use the bathroom.

prune juice =]

Colace works great. I get it from walmart or any other pharmacy. I usually take two at a time bc one doesn't seem to work.

I had the worste constipation after i had surgery a few wks ago and let me tell u... Warm up prune juice in microwave and drink a glass of it, u will go with in hrs and if not drink another one before u go to bed or when u wake up and ull be sure to go. Might b nasty but better then being consipated

Before I resort to any medication every approved by doctor I try my own things. High fiber diet such as broccoli, oatmeal, blackberries, some cereals,  bananas, or organes.. there's a ton more food high in fiber but that worked for me. I try to eat something high in fiber as atleast one snack daily to reduce the risk of getting constipated and its helped since the first few weeks of my pregnancy now I'm almost 27 weeks and have had no issues

Walk or another form of gentle exercise. The movements of your legs stimulate your bowel muscles into action. Drink plenty water come stay Hydrated. Eat plenty fibre ie wholemeal bread, pasta and rice. Drink fruit juice.  Never strain on the toilet, you should push gently and rock your pelvis back and forth to help stimulate your bowels , thats what we get our patients to do.  you should always try natural remedies first as opposed to jumping straight into medication as your body becomes reliant on that quickly.

[Galvez]

girl i have the same problem from time to time but ive just been drinking lots of water n i find that orange juice helps me for some reason. But i knoe alot of the girls recommended prunes, lots of fruit, n those fiber one bars, and I heard they sell fiber pills.

There are several things I do to help me with constipation. Try prunes. Room temperature water or the best thing for me is drinking 2 cups of Naked green machine lol. May not taste the best but definitely works!
