hi Juanita i would like to recommend a program for you. I experienced before a severe constipation for more than 7 days due to wrong way of eating,stress and its in my family genes . i took laxatives before but nothings change until my friend recommended to me this program http://tinyurl.com/endconstip and amazingly helps me a lot. And also try to take cloves of garlic weekly(prevent colon cancer according to studies) and have some exercise(hullahooping for intestine exercise).

Please note that I am not a physician and cannot diagnose nor treat any medical condition.

Constipation can be a bothersome problem but usually in healthy people it is only something that happens once in a while. The fact that you claim that it has been happening since first grade concerns me and leads me to suspect that perhaps there is more going on than simple, uncomplicated constipation.

The first thing I'd like to recommend is to define what true constipation really is. People can go for up to an entire week without a bowel movement and this may be entirely normal. It depends on what you consume, and how much each day as well as your normal body rhythms. What leads you to believe that you are experiencing abnormal constipation?

Next, I'd recommend checking out our page here on GrannyMed.com dedicated to constipation. There you can read about some natural remedies for this condition and try them out. If the problem does not resolve within 3 days, I'd then recommend that you seek medical attention.

Constipation could be a symptom of another condition. The first one that comes to mind is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This condition may present as a constipation-dominant subtype. If this is the case for you, there are various medicatons and IBS protocols that may be helpful to you.

Next, I wonder what medicatons, supplements, and herbal products you regularly ingest. These may also be responsible for chronic constipation.

You can also try senna which is available over the counter as a laxative and is plant-derived. However, you would only want to use this occasionally as consistent use can cause tolerance and exacerbate the problem over the long run. Prunes and prune juice are also often cited as natural ways to combat constipation.

Are you drinking enough water? Do you exercise regularly? What have you tried to make the problem better? Did anything make it worse? Did anything make it better? Are you getting enough fiber in your diet?

I'd need more information to make any further specific recommendations.
