Its ok to take any laxatives. Im not sure which ones but you can , and add more fiber into yoir diet
Mango juice works as good as prune juice for constipation my doc told me. Also All-Bran cereal in a hot bowl of milk every morning will stop the constipation.
Might be tmi but when I'm constipated I take a bath, usually helps or apple juice.
Try and increase your fiber and water intake. If that doesn't help, milk of magnesia, stool softenters like colace, and miralax are all safe to take as well. And if all else fails, you can use enemas as well.
*** more fiber to your diet also eat a salad with either Italian or vinaigrette dressing. Also get some stool softeners from Walmart
Apple juice or Apple sauce I hear prune juice is good too try using a lubricant to stimulate ur anus. I had a bad case of constipation I thought I was going to get hemorrhoids from straining.
