I Currently Have Chronic Constipation Any Suggestions?

I'm currently eating prunes daily and drinking two to three full glasses of water and a lot of fiber vitamins and I'm still pooping anywhere from three to six times a day and not being able to empty myself fully. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to change my diet because this has been going on for weeks now. I see my doctor on November 18th for my annual checkup, but any suggestions before then would be highly appreciated. :)
Eat licorice.
 
Listening to your description tells me you might have a slight case of hemorrhoids.

When part of your large intestine is hanging out, you tend to feel like you need to poop a lot.
If part of your large intestine is hanging out, Prep H isnt going to make it go away, you need some medical help.
 
I have taken Metamucil (4 capsules with supper) for YEARS, and it keeps me regular. When I have a bit of constipation, I make myself a cup of strong tea. That is, I put the teabag in the water when it starts to boil, then leave it in there while it's boiling for another three or four minutes. Within fifteen minutes, the constipation is over.

polyethylene glycol 3350 aka Miralax.

everyday until satisfied. its not even technically a drug, it just changes the osmolarity of your bowel in general to keep everything flowing.

of course, I'm not physician, follow labelling and ask your doctor first.
:rolleyes:
