Quebracho Colorado, Horse Chestnut
★☆☆☆☆
It may help for a few days, but then it can stop working and increase constipation.
While it may be helpful for bloating, it seems not to be right for constipation.
Quebracho Colorado, Horse Chestnut
★★★★★
There is a supplement containing both red quebracho (not white, which is for lung issues) and horse chestnut extracts that have been shown in many studies to be very helpful for bloating and for motility issues. It lowers methane in the body. (Methane slows peristalsis, and increases bloating, constipation, obesity and other intestinal issues.) Although the name cannot be mentioned here, it is worth investigating. In the health food store, as well as online, it got unusually good reviews.

Triphala Churna
★★★★★
I use the brand Organic India. It tastes "better" than others, but is still horrific. I drink it in a Coffee cup and might drink another cup of water afterward, but it doesn't seem to matter. The Pear has no relation to the effectiveness as far as I can tell, it is a Detox fruit so it's good, but it's main use is to rapidly kill the taste of the Triphala.

Which exact product do you use which gives you almost instant bowel movement at a 10 ram dose?
How much water do you drink with the powder?
Without eating pear will still be effective?
Triphala Churna
★★★★★
Cautions with the powder... It tastes Horrific, so have a Detox fruit like a Pear cut up and ready to immediately eat to kill the taste before you brush your teeth. It's so bad, it will make your mouth parts angry.
Also, do not boil water because it will take forever to get down. Do not use Cold water because it will taste worse, if that's possible. Something you can mix up real quick and get down as fast as humanly possible, and on to the Pear.

Weight-Bearing Exercises, Psoas Muscle Massage
★★★★★
In addition to avoiding or minimizing constipating foods, exercising with weights (resistance training, weight lifting) using moderate weights can help relieve constipation. Sometimes relief can be felt quickly, sometimes several hours later.
Quora in response to - Does a gym workout like weight lifting help with digestive issues? features a long AI response about the many benefits of resistance training (weight lifting) for relief. Squats, lifts, presses and rows are recommended. But overstraining must be avoided.
Psoas muscle massage can also help. A respondent, Tara Marie on Quora, answering - Does getting a massage help with digestion? mentioned that massaging the Psoas for twenty minutes helped a stroke victim. There is a simple video on Psoas release titled: Excellent SELF Manual Release Technique for PSOAS MAJOR - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-_XizhE2i9E
It is important to minimize fried foods, dense foods (dense proteins), for some people dairy and for some people gluten, white rice, and iron and calcium supplements - and foods containing these supplements such as white flour and many breakfast cereals, (Ferrous fumarate is an exception. It is a form of iron that is not constipating.)
Although, for some people gluten should be minimized, a study showed that more effective than laxatives is rye bread, made only from 100% whole rye flour.
A quarter or a third teaspoon Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) and a pinch or two of Cream of Tartar (potassium bitartrate) in a half cup of water in the evening may also be helpful. Too much Magnesium may cause dependency and also eventually stop working, so the less the better, and preferably not every day. Cream of Tartar (which may cause weight gain) is very high in Potassium and overdosing (taking tablespoons) may cause heart arrhythmia.

Also in terms of the probiotics, I just wanted to add that I did a bit of research and it seems my old brand specifically had strains that are actually known to help with constipation...so if you suffer from this condition, don't just take any brand, do you research and find a brand that has lots of the types of bacteria that are known to be particularly good for constipation.
I hope this helps someone out there, I now know how truly miserable it can be to be constipated!

Senna Leaf Tea
If more serious, I take 2 caps. Adding psyllium also helps, as needed. Many years ago, I had very serious constipation, so bad I finally went for a series of colonics just to get the hardened stuff out. And the lady recommended aloe ferox. The stuff is amazing. I've never suffered like that again.

How do you consume cascara and aloe forex? Do you make a tea out of them or ingest them as powder?
If you make a tea, how exactly do you make the tea? Like powder to water ratio, covered cup or not, for how long do you steep them?
I tried 1 teaspoon of cascara for 7 consecutive days but they were not as effective like 4 grams of senna leaves steeped in 250ml boiling water covered cup one dose only.
Never tried aloe ferox, which brand(s) do you use?
Thank you

The hot tea should be sipped while/during eating one's meal or should be ingested right after one finished a meal?

Make sure you thoroughly mix it out in the water and ensure that you only use one leveled teaspoon in a glass of water. If you use more than that, it may not work and you may end up with a headache the next day.
Also, ensure that your stomach is empty. Drink it at least 2 hours after your last meal. 3 to 4 hours after is even better.
This method works for me. If I overdo it, I get a terrible headache and it does not work. I'm guessing that it raises my sodium levels and blood pressure if I use more than the teaspoonful.

Small amounts of magnesium, even taking a larger dosage from time to time, but not every day, might be helpful.
Herbal remedies for constipation containing senna or other stimulant herbs stop working eventually. First, there is a need for higher and higher dosages and then even the higher dosages hardly work. Even taking high amounts of magnesium products like magnesium citrate over a long time (a year or so) will end up hardly working. And the body's natural peristalsis is damaged. Miralax is less habit forming, but it can cause nervousness (or anxiety or sleeplessness) in some people.
Fiber foods taken with a lot of water are helpful.
(There is an antibiotic - Erythromycin that has been shown to help severe constipation in children. https://www.scielo.br/j/bjmbr/a/NGMt3N7mkbn49xnzYB8mYYS/)
Avoiding/minimizing fried foods, too much protein, and refined and processed foods is important.

Carrot Soup
★★★★★
Medical Council – A Monthly Journal for the Physican and Surgeon. Volume 15,1910
For infants suffering from acute or chronic intestinal disturbances, E. Moro highly recommends a soup prepared as follows : Five hundred grams of carrots are peeled, mashed and boiled out with water, until 375 grams remain. The mass is then rubbed through a very fine sieve and added together with 6 gm. Of salt to 1 liter of broth. This soup was given to infants from two weeks to six months old with the best results. In acute cases the vomiting and diarrhea will cease in from one to three days and the fever and general symptoms of marasmus will rapidly disappear. In the chronic affection and in infants suffering from atrophy the result is no less prompt, and a rapid gain in weight can be noted . The stools are soft, very copious, and yellow or reddish-yellow. One of the most pronounced results following feeding with carrot soup is retention of water within the system of the infant.- Muench . Med. Woch.
