From time to time we all struggle with pooping!
None of us like to talk about it because it’s not a nice thing to experience. Being constipated makes your abdomen feel full, tight, bloated and can also be very uncomfortable and even downright painful.
So what’s the fastest cure for constipation?
Well you’ll be happy to know that there are natural ways to cure this issue that are going to be far better than pharmaceuticals. I don’t get constipation all that much but if I ever do these methods shift things very quickly. And clients of mine have also found these tips very beneficial.
So if you happen to suffer with constipation occasionally or on a regular basis then I’ve got the fastest cure for you to put into action. 
The Fastest Cure For Constipation: Your Natural Solution
Here’s what you’ll need:
So why would these be helpful and how should you take them? Let me explain.
Magnesium powder
Magnesium has the capacity to draw water into the bowel. Often what happens when you are constipated is that everything is stuck because the bowel is dry. So the magnesium will help soften everything up so that it can get moving. Take a half a teaspoon morning and night in water.
All the cells needed in the body need vitamin C, including the ones in your bowel. Under excess stress the body demands more vitamin C and not being able to poop is a fairly stressful situation. Beyond that though, the vitamin C helps to get the bowels moving.
Similar to magnesium it helps draw more water into the bowel and loosen the stool into motion. You need to take quite a large dose, so a teaspoon in the morning and night in water.
Flaxseed capsules are omega 3 oils that help to reduce inflammation in the bowel. They also help to provide a protective barrier between your stool and the intestinal wall and make things more slippery, so to speak.
One thing is for sure, when you do get things moving you want things to be as painless as possible so the flaxseed capsules will assist perfectly with that. They also happen to be a natural source of fiber, which is why they also help to get things moving in the downward direction. 
Take 3 capsules with every meal.
Water
To help assist the process you simply MUST drink more water. Aim for 1.5 liters of water per day as a minimum.
So there you have it! A wonderful natural mix of ingredients to get things moving.
The magnesium draws more water into the bowel to soften things up, the vitamin C gets things moving, and the flaxseed makes it a far less painful process!
Give it a try because it really does work.
If it does work for you be sure to check back in and let us know how you go. We won’t tell anyone, promise. 😉

Just 3 simple things:





I love this article! Poop talk is one of my favorite things
I have worked hard to heal my gut and regulate my bowel movements. Thanks Jedha for all your hard work. I love your podcast and website
Thanks again!
Hi Rachel, you gave me a giggle I love poop talk too
It’s good to hear things are moving better for you and thanks for your feeback, much appreciated.
I love poop talk, too! If I had constipation, I’d be all over this! I’ve had IBS-D pretty severely for 8 years though, until recently… I’m having solid poop again! YAAAAAAAY!!! One year on an Anti-Candida diet was all it took. Cheers to healing the gut! Woot woot!
Thanks for the great article – I’ll be sharing it with all of my friends! Looking forward to seeing what else you have to offer on your site. xo
Thanks for stopping by Rachael! So glad your IBS-D is better because that sure isn’t fun at all. Healing the gut really is the key so it’s great yo found a positive solution. Hope you stop by again sometime and look forward to chatting online
Can you safely take these every day If not, how often? It is an ongoing problem.
Yes you can safely take them every day and adjust as your bowel movements get better. Once you start doing this and drink lots of water, you should notice a big difference. Be sure to let me know how you go Marlene.
Is it ok to use liquid flaxseed oil and how much ? Also is it ok to use Vitamin C and magnesium in capsule form. I just bought the liquid form of flaxseed and have the others in capsule form. Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Hi Anna, apologies for a belated reply.
Flaxseed oil is fine, take around 1 teaspoon per serve. Follow the instructions on the label for vitamin C and magnesium + 1. So if it says take 2 capsules a day, take 3 – you often need a bit more than the recommended dose to get things moving. The capsules won’t be as effective as the powder but I think they will still work.
Hi I found this extremely interesting. I will be trying it. Are we able to put all the doses needed for that time of day in one glass.?
Are we able to take lots of meds. at the same time as your drink? I take them in the morning and at night.
Thank you from Carol.
Yes Carol, You can put all the item together to drink them.
These should be safe to take with meds but you should always check with your doctor or pharmacy just to make sure there are no contraindications.
Thank you for more info on these ingredients! Will get back to you again soon.
Jedha – Thanks for the good advice….I had to cut back on running,not knowing that would slow down my digestive track. A couple of days on your regimen made all the difference.
That’s awesome to hear James, thanks for reporting back.
probiotics are a very important component to keeping the digestive system on the move as well 🌞
Absolutely essential. Probiotics are fantastic!
Is it safe to use if someone is pregnant?
Hi Irina, I don’t work with pregnant women but according to WebMD Vit C & Mag are considered ‘likely safe’ for pregnant women, flaxseed may be ‘possibly unafe’. Take them only in the recommended dosage on the package label and check with your doctor.

Why would flax be unsafe in pregnancy?
I don’t know Deb. I don’t work with pregnant women but read this somewhere so have it included just for safety sake.
Do I need to take all 3 at the same times and 3x a day with meals?
Can I find 3 of these at Wal-Mart, Cvs, etc?
Thanks
Yes to both questions Debbie. Good luck
Hi Jedha, I am so glad to find this info. I have struggled with this for years, both on my own and with a gastroenterologist. I have been using the Calm but having difficulty settling on the right dosage. I either take too much or too little. When I do the combination of all three 3X a day how much Calm powder should I take?
Thank you so much,
Shirley
Hi Shirley, try the dosages outlined in the post, they should work well and you can adjust from there if neccesary. Best of luck
Since I am still breastfeeding is there a different oil you could recommend?
Use virgin olive oil Becky, it will be just as effective.
Drinking plenty of water and walking everyday helps a lot too.
Yes it does Tammy
I was reading your article. I’m going through a very emotional stress, losing a parent, and I don’t know if it’s also necessary to mentioned I also went through a hysterectomy. I usually take care of my diet but lately even eating some vegetables, legumes or fiber inflammate my colon, so I’m dealing with 2 things, constipation and inflammation of the colon.
I do exercise 2-3 hours a day and drink a lot of water.
Is there something you can recommend me to do?
Thank you
Naschtinka
Sounds like a food allergy or some food irritation could be adding to the colon inflammation – it could be the stress too of course. I’d stay away from the problematic foods for now and focus on what you can have – just eat clean. You might find this helpful http://goodfoodeating.org/11041/supplements-for-inflammation/
I can’t seem to get your free e book.
Did you try subscribing to our email to get it? You should be redirected after subscribing.
Im had this problem since i was a kid. I could go weeks at a time not going to the bathroom. I will try this. Thank you.:)
I run a Pancreatitis Awareness Acrion Group (Project Purple Umbrella) amd many of our support group members deal with this due to pain meds and just having massive dehydration issues.
I have shared your website/article and I feel that everything you have laid out, even in your comments section here, have been great pieces of advice and I so hope one of our members tries your method and has great results and posts here soon, so their experience can help all of the others out there.
So glad I found you!!! Carolyn
Thanks Carolyn, that’s so nice of you to say. I hope they find benefits too
Oops

There’s certainly a great deal to learn about this issue. I love all the points you made.
A common problem that many people have!
If I ever get clogged up I eat an apple. Unclogs me every time. But since I tent towards the loose side of things it is not something I do a lot. After two bowel resections due to a ruptured bowel and diverticulitis, nothing sticks around very long, Thank God!
Well that’s lucky JammyLynn, for many people constipation is a real problem!
After Chemo I have a bad time ,now continuous constipation. NO FUN! Bowls dry out and block up. Will try this, Thanks for the info.! Will pass the info to others that need relief. Also foods that start with P help.(So a nurse told me.) Pears, peaches, prunes, Also walking is essential, as the leg muscles engage the abdominal muscles and help move things along. Sitting around or standing will not do for exercise.
Good luck fellow Poopers!
All great tips. Good luck Barbara
So I have been constipated my entire life. I have tried so many things to get my gut under control. I take400 mg of chelates magnesium,800 magnesium citrate, 1000mg of Vitamin C, 200 mg of selenium, 2000mg of Vitamin D, 500mg of Vitamin E, Plus Moega XL for my inflammation. Every morning I have a Kale, fruit, protein shake for breakfast. I eat veggies and fruits everyday. I Have tried taking the soaked whole flaxseeds and it doesn’t help loosin anything up. I don’t eat bread or pasta, very rarely if we go out to eat. Now that I am off bread and pasta to eat it makes me sick. With all this I am still severely constipated. I have talked to my DR, years ago and he put me on Fiber and it acted like cement in my bowels. I now do coffee enemas to clear things up. I would love to find something to clear my gut and get my body to healthy. Oh and I have been eating clean 80/20, sometimes we go out to eat and hard to stay totally clean. Less then 1000 calories most days, and I have only lost 8 lbs, I think the weight is STUCK in my gut. How do I get my gut healthy? I do not want to be like this the rest of my life.. I am 43 year old female. (Do you have anymore to suggest for me to try? Thought of Kifer??
For starters, you won’t lose weight with 1000 calories because you’re body will protect the fat it has – it’s our natural biochemistry. Cut calories too much, it slows down metabolism to a grinding halt.
What about water – do you drink LOTS of water? Walk? And fats – take flaxseed capsules. You don’t need things like actual fiber, it sounds like you need more lubrication ‘so to speak’.
Hi My 2 year old granddaughter suffers with chronic constipation. It takes her about an hour to poop and she is is screaming and crying the whole time. It is the worst feeling to have to experience and know there is nothing you can do to comfort her when this is happening! 😢 Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sorry to hear that Karen. Check with the pharmacist or health food shop for appropriate doses for children but this process should work for her too. Make sure she is drinking LOTS of water.
I’m a 41 year old female. I have Hypothyroid. I am constantly constipated. I drink water, walk with fitbit challenges. I just started probotics. What is your opinion on its use?
Probiotics are great April and will also help your bowels
I need something that works over nite any suggestions?
Hi Melanie, take the supplements before bed, and double the dose of flaxseed – give that a try and it should help.
