But constipation relief does not need to come in the form of a laxative that uses harsh chemicals and stimulants as the active ingredients. Yet, it is also true that most of us do not have 2-3 weeks to improve our diets naturally with fiber and help promote normal bowel movements. This is certainly a good idea as part of a long term constipation prevention strategy, but it can take weeks for fiber to have any noticeable affect upon your bowel movements.

Constipation can be alleviated naturally in the short term with some simple home remedies. A couple of glasses of grape or prune juice before going to bed should provide constipation relief by morning in most cases of temporary symptoms.  Another home remedy is to add a half glass of orange juice to a half cup of olive oil and drink in the morning; you should have a movement before retiring for the evening.
