Here’s Exactly What to Do:
Scroll below for fast, emergency-use methods to get things moving today.
But be warned: What you’ll find down there works, and it works fast…… but it’s not meant to be normal.
If you’ve had to search for constipation relief more than once or twice this year, this isn’t just a bad day, it’s a broken digestive system.
And those emergency fixes?
They’ll only make things worse over time unless you fix what’s actually broken… you’ll be right back here. Searching. Straining. Suffering. Again.
Emergency Relief: What Works
(Use Sparingly)
1. Saline Enema
(Fleet Enema or Generic)
The fastest, most direct at-home method. Works in minutes.
Where to buy: Available at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, or any major pharmacy (look in the laxative/enema section)
Brand: Fleet Enema, CVS Health Saline Enema, Equate Enema
How to use:
1. Lie on your left side with knees bent
2. Gently insert the applicator tip into the rectum
3. Squeeze the full contents in, then remove
4. Stay lying down for 5–15 minutes or until urge becomes strong
When it works: Often within 2–5 minutes
Why it works: The saline draws water into the colon and triggers a rapid contraction
Warning: Use only when absolutely necessary, not for regular use.
Best for: Total urgency and no results from oral methods.
2. Inulax
(Daily Natural Fiber Reset)
Gentle. Powerful. Sustainable. A long-term solution that actually prevents the next emergency.
What it is: A daily fiber supplement made with Inulin from chicory root, psyllium husk, and organic soluble fiber
Why it works: It feeds your gut’s natural bacteria, restores regularity, and trains your body to eliminate waste without needing force or chemicals
How to use:
Mix 1 stick pack into water or a smoothie once per day (morning or evening—your choice)
Use daily, not just during emergencies
When it works:
Many users report relief and movement within 1–3 days
Long-term users experience consistency, ease, and fewer flare-ups
Why it matters: Unlike laxatives, Inulax doesn’t force your body—it helps it function the way it was designed to
Bonus: Zero crash. Zero habit-forming risk. Just results.
3. Magnesium Citrate
A fast-acting liquid laxative you can buy at any CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, or grocery store.
Brand: Look for “Magnesium Citrate Oral Solution” (commonly from brands like CVS Health, Walgreens, Rite Aid, or GoodSense)
Dosage: Adults typically take half to a full 10 oz bottle
When it works: Usually within 30 minutes to 6 hours
How to use: Drink the full dose on an empty stomach, followed by 8–12 oz of water
Warnings: May cause cramping, diarrhea, or electrolyte imbalance. Do NOT use more than once in a 24-hour period. Do not use regularly.
Pro tip: Have bathroom access. Stay close, because when it hits, it hits fast.
4. Suppositories
(Glycerin or Bisacodyl)
A direct and fast-acting method for urgent cases. Inserted rectally, they stimulate bowel muscles within minutes.
Where to buy: Available at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid—look in the laxative section
Brands: Fleet, Dulcolax, CVS Health, Equate
How to use:
1. Remove from wrapper
2. Lie on your side, insert gently
2. Wait 15–60 minutes near a restroom
Type to choose:
Glycerin (gentler, works within ~1 hour)
Bisacodyl (stronger stimulant, works in 15–30 mins)
Warning: Use only when needed. No more than once every few days. Do not use regularly.
Pro Tip: Hydrate before and after to reduce cramping risk
4. Castor Oil Laxative (Oral)
A traditional but powerful oral stimulant laxative. Fast and intense.
Where to buy: CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, grocery stores (near digestive health)
How to use: Adults take 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) on an empty stomach
Follow with a glass of juice (it’s thick and unpleasant in taste)
When it works: 2–6 hours, sometimes faster for sensitive systems
Why it works: Castor oil stimulates the intestines to contract forcefully
Warning: Can cause cramping and urgent bowel movements, do not use regularly.
Best for: Rapid relief with oral-only methods when magnesium isn’t working.
5. Olive Oil + Warm Lemon Water Flush
A natural but aggressive cleanse combo. Stimulates bile flow and lubricates the colon.
What you need:
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Half a fresh lemon, juiced
8–10 oz warm water
How to use:
1. Mix lemon juice and olive oil into warm water
2. Drink on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning or before bed
3. Walk gently for 10–15 minutes after
When it works: 1–6 hours, depending on gut sensitivity
Why it works: The oil lubricates the intestines while lemon and warmth stimulate movement
Warning: Not for daily use. May cause nausea in sensitive individuals. Do not use regularly.
Best for: Natural option with stronger impact than prune juice or coffee, without OTC meds.
When to Stop Trying and Try Something Else
If none of these methods work within 6–12 hours, or if you’re experiencing sharp pain, fever, or vomiting, stop.
That’s not normal constipation. Consult a physician or urgent care immediately.

Why You Shouldn’t Depend on These.
Emergency laxatives feel like a solution - but they’re a trap:
They force your body to evacuate, whether it’s ready or not.
Use them more than occasionally, and your body starts waiting for external help.
Your gut weakens. You become dependent.
And you start asking, “Why am I always backed up again?”
If constipation hits you every few months, or even just once a month, that’s not random.
That’s your body telling you it’s starving for fiber.
The Real Problem Isn’t Pooping. It’s Fiber.
Let’s cut to the chase:
Most adults aren’t even close to getting enough daily fiber.
Without it, your gut slows. Your stool hardens. You strain, stress, and stay stuck.
