Undiluted orange squash ...

[minimonkey]

did you try dulcolax? they go through you like a dose of uranium and create some kind of nuclear reaction within 5-10 hours

If you havent got a medical problem try a Glycerine Suppository. Fairly cheap at the Chemists

[saxy_jag]

The last two (Dulcolax and Glycerin) are methods I've tried and can recommend.

I'm told Fybogel is good too.

Before you take any of the above medication, I should warn the neighbours and air traffic control of nearest airport!!!

Try 5 pints of Guiness...that`ll work

[BigBishop]

Try a vindaloo

If it has really been a week, you should go see your GP. You could have a bowel obstruction.

I suffered badly when i was pregnant and tried all the herbal remedies from chemist, none worked.

Then i was told try eating sweetcorn. I ate it for tea and was cleared out by morning. Ive used it since and it seems to do the trick each time.

Are you sure youre getting 8 glasses of water a day

[maggie01]

I agree with minimonkey. They are very good for constipation. Take 2 before you go to bed and by morning you will feel a whole lot better. Weetabix always gives me constipation.
