Buy a laxative from your local drugstore
or supermarket. They even come in
chocolate flavored, lol. I think eating
fruits may help too.
I dont know if you are preggy... But if
you are, I dont know if you can take
laxatives...?

Walking works or maybe it was the warm
water, anyway they work together just
fine. Lol

One other thing, don't hang on for as long
as possible.
When you feel the need *go* else things
can become compacted and difficult.

I had this problem about a month ago. It
sucked so bad. I wound up really big and
bloated cause I would go for days without
going. I asked my doctor and here is what
he told me....
Drink a lot of water. More than usual
eat leafy green veggies
take metamucil...This helped me so much.
I bought the capsules which are kind of
expensive, but when you are in that
pain...You want whatever will make you
go.
I took metamucil for a few days and I
found that and water did the trick. Good
luck!
