Hey, Junie...

The absolute best help I've found for constipation is walking. I saw an article once in a doctor's office that explained how the continual compression and release of the bowels during normal walking actually serves as a very important "engine" for keeping the process of digestion moving along.

It doesn't even have to be a fast-paced, energetic walk, although that's the best. You just drink a couple of glasses of water or juice, and then walk at an even pace for as long as you can. Try to relax you abdomen as much as possible, and just let nature take over. It really helps me. Hope it helps you.
