Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):
Fiber Supplements: Fiber is crucial for bowel regularity. Fiber supplements like psyllium husk, methylcellulose, or wheat dextrin can help add bulk to the stool, making it easier to pass. These supplements should be taken with plenty of water to prevent potential issues like blockages.
Probiotics: Some studies suggest that certain probiotics might help improve bowel function and alleviate constipation by promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Probiotics containing strains like Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, or Saccharomyces boulardii may have potential benefits for digestive health.
Magnesium Supplements: Magnesium can act as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines and softening stools. However, excessive magnesium intake can lead to diarrhea, so it's important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Prunes or Prune Juice: Prunes contain natural sugars and fiber that can help stimulate bowel movements. Prune juice is also a popular natural remedy for constipation.
Water-Soluble Vitamin C: In some cases, higher doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) may have a mild laxative effect. However, excessive intake can lead to diarrhea and should be used cautiously.
