For constipation, I use magnesium - I take magnesium glycinate in the evening and sometimes I also take magnesium citrate (small doses) which also helps. You can get magnesium citrate from most health food shops - there's also a drink called Natural Calm (but be careful with dosing and take small amounts) Drink lots of water if you can't get hold of any magnesium and eat soluble fibre.

You seem to be saying the same thing in your posts but you never mention if you have actually tried any of the things people have suggested to you. You cannot have tried everything since your last post a day ago. We all know what its like to suffer but we try & trial different things to see what works for us. There are a lot of good suggestions about constipation on here, read other posts & the replies and then give things a go. There is no miracle cure you have to give it time, and by time I mean weeks/months not a day. If you are really concerned or in a lot of pain then you need to go and see your GP.
