since the bowel works on a variety of, you have to consider is the constipation idiopathic or sporadic? Do you have chronic constipation where the peristalsis is slowed, do you have gastric paresis?
is it just that time of the month that many women experience?
if constipation goes beyond 48 hours consider using something. Senokot, mineral oil, suppositories. Chances are good you don't have enough fluid in the bowel to create a soft stool. This happens quite frequently to men who sweat so much in the summer. OTC preparations are good and gentle and are often derived from oils and water attractors. Using some' Natural remedies" can at times cause a major problem. As did one patient whose intestine tore when they took a natural concoction.
Make sure that when you do evacuate, that the following day you drink plenty of fluid. use a fiber bulking agent, like benefiber.
