I want to ask everyone advice what do you do for Constipation?

You can try stool softeners and if it is persistent Constipation, try Miralax, which you can now buy over the counter.

Stool softener isn't go to make you go. Get some Benefiber and throw a teaspoon in everything you drink. It's flavorless and dissolves completely. You don't even know its there. You can also take 2 Tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia but make sure to drink at least 8-12 ounces of Water with it or or it wont work.

Essentially the best means to relieve Constipation is to get more Fiber in your diet through whatever means you can. food, your Protein Drinks fortified with fiber, fiber supplements and yes things like benefiber and etc added to your food. However if your bowel movements are normal but you just have a hard time with them, like its very hard to push them out (yes I known TMI) the a stool softener may be appropriate. Also make sure you get plenty of Water in your system if that is the case.
