I have a health problem. I'm always constipated. I drink plenty of fluids, mostly fruit juice, but I get so backed up that it causes my abdomen to bulge out and it looks unsightly. A doctor recommended enemas and dulcolax, but the enemas don't always work and the dulcolax doesn't seem to have any effect.

I've tried a variety of other laxatives, but the only one I've had any success with is Ex-Lax, which is something not recommended because I may become dependent on it. I'm thinking of trying an all-liquid food diet (apple sauce and such) supplemented with a vitamin for a week or so. Any other suggestions?

Reduce fiber in food.

fibers are not mentioned. some anon said fiber is like a broom for your ass, or something to that effect.

Drink extra virgin olive oil. Tastes kinda gross on its own, but helps cleanse the colon.

yeah, don't eat too much. but apparently you need some. fiber is interesting, it's not required for anything in digestion. it's precisely defined as indigestible. but somehow that stuff works.

hospital person (doctor i suppose) never told me i could eat "too much" fiber when I was severely constipated over a decade ago.

Sodium hydroxide works quite well at cleaning out the pipes. I mean, works on actual, real pipes, so it should work on the metaphorical intestinal pipes.

That's called Metamusil. And yes, I have tried it.
But I guess the bananas will work as a good thing to eat during the no meat no heavy stuff diet.

I've heard of some medications you can take (not metamucil or laxatives, but oral pills of some kind) that "cure" chronic constipation. I say "cure" because it won't go away completely on its own, you still need to monitor your diet. But ask another doctor about it - not the doctor who recommended enemas. Jesus christ.

Instead of fruit juice, eat fruit and drink water.
