I'm 56 some of the old time nature remedies like the ones from my grandma hold true. To pass motion easily eat fruits that starts with a ‘p’: prunes, peaches, pears and so on.

I've found a product called turkey rhubarb. I love it! One at bedtime for my chronic constipation. It works great. I have no pain or cramping.
