Question: Do you have any advise on what a good constipation treatment would be for a fifty year old male with no other health issues? Thanks!

Answer: Constipation treatment is one of the most common questions we get. There are many treatment options available, but here are a few that our readers have found most helpful.

Dietary change is one of the most helpful preventive constipation treatments available today. By adding fiber to your diet and decreasing the amount of processed or fast foods you eat you will allow your colon to form soft and regular stool.

Enemas and laxatives can be useful to alleviate symptoms of constipation. The only problem with these methods is that the body can become reliant on them in order to pass stool. For this reason we recommend an herbal supplement as the most useful treatment.

Herbal supplements will cleanse the colon and allow it to function in the way it was intended. A common ingredient in these supplements is an herb called phylum husk which sweeps debris out of the colon much like a broom.

We hope that by taking the above advice on constipation treatment options you will be able to alleviate some of the symptoms you are suffering from.
