Some foods have serotonin or the precursor trytophan in them... that may help. Serotonin is the GI neurotransmitter, that is major in moving things along.
Bananas, pineapple, peanuts are high in this, and are withheld during medical testing for serotonin levels.
You might try taking some tryptophan, and see if that helps.
Also look carefully at any medications you may be taking.
First gen antihistamines can be constipating, (Benadryl) and also
Elavil, Neurontin/Lyrica.
The SSRI drugs can cause diarrhea in some people, and these may help you.
Two tablespoonfuls of extra virgin olive oil, is also a laxative for some people.
