Bananas help you poop easier. Also, try drinking lots of water.
& when you HAVE to go, you must go. Don't hold it, cause when you do..your body is sucking away all the water..which makes it hard to poop.

she might need to get some stool softener
she can try anything with doccusate sodium
she should also intake more fiber (metamucil for fiber supplement) and keep hydrated to maintain normal bowel movements.
Exercise also helps.

and as far as I know, bananas are used to relieve constipation......though too much of anything is never a good thing.

Try eating all kinds of fruits. Im VERY sure it'll make you poop.

You might end up having diarrhea though XD


Prune juice helps too. And drink lots of water. There's also laxatives(powder form). You just mix it with your drink, and poop away!

Bananas are a good source of fiber. Fiber softens your stool. If she is eating a lot of bananas and still have the constipation then tell her to drink a lot more WATER, too chew more often, and see a doctor if it continues.

my bio teacher said banana will help you poop, and that it's good to eat a banana after a meal so that it pushes the food down and digest it better~

bananas are supposed to help you not to be constipated because they have fibers.
maybe your cousin doesn't drink the right amount of water.

Bananas make me constipated becuase I don't drink water.
Your cousin is probably the same as me. I only drink about 2 to 3 glasses a day and
I only poo poo once or twice a week.

If you eat fibrous fruits make sure to drink a lot of water.
The fiber won't be able to absorb anything if there isn't any water.

I should be taking my own advice but I have bladder problems.
When I drink a glass I pee at least 4 times(I think I'm sick ohmy.gif );
not the most convenient when you're busy.

bananas are supposed to help
but i agree with the post above
if you dont have water nothing will help
she can try combination of banana and water, wait for it to settle, and then try pooping again
get her to try to do it every day...so that it doesnt build up over time which makes it harder
