Fast working home made laxative?!


Question: Fast working home made laxative.?
Hello, my question is towards laxatives, as i recently have gotten a problem where of which i need to use something like this before taking the pill.
However as the pharmacy is closed on sundays i need some help.
So my question is, is there anything i can drink/consume, that will make it "work" down there, without having to wait more than a few hours.?. (has to be buyable at the local supermarket).
Would really be a great help.

thank youHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
You could try a few things. Very strong coffee. Prunes. Senna (found where the vitamins and such are in the store). High fiber cereal. Smooth Move Tea. Unfortunately most take more than a few hours (except maybe the coffee).Health Question & Answer

A glass of warm prune juice will do the trick for you.

also, you can use glycerine suppositories or ducolax suppositories. They usually work within 15 minutes or so.

also, when I was younger and was not able to go on a regular basis, my mother used to cut off just a small sliver off of a bar of soap. Nothing big just a little. Hold it in between your fingers to let it soften up a little bit, then use it like a suppository. It usually works within just a few minutes too. You may already have this available in your home.Health Question & Answer

Your bowels can`t do anything without water so be sure that you are drinking lots and lots of water (8 - 10 glasses per day at least) and consuming at least 20 - 25 g or fibre. Massaging the area around your lower abdomen and walking around will help things move around in the moment and help the water access the feces.Health Question & Answer

Green apples are good, a tablespoonfull of molasses dissolved in some hot water is better. To help so that you dont have to need a laxative get plenty of fiber in your diet. Eat lots of whole grains and many problems will disappear.Health Question & Answer

Very strong coffee - as recommended by midwives following birth and the constipation that follows, sometimes.Health Question & Answer
