I've heard this one before.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Bananas and plenty of water works for me. You can also make a banana milk shake (blend ripe bananas with cold milk in a blender) and drink it.
My roommate suggested the same thanks. I just sent him to get me some.
I take kratom, an herb with opioid properties so I deal with this a lot. Prunes and other dried fruits have sugar alcohols, which work for a lot of people, coffee is ok. I take magnesium and fuller supplements, so try bananas and oatmeal if you wanna do this with just food.
Idk if that's available in my area but I'll try to look for it. Thanks.
Oh man I also struggle with the kratom blockage. Does magnesium help? Nothing I eat seems to do it.
Some? Prune juice seems to work best
chinese food
Flax seed .
Consume at least 2 liters of water. Consume foods high in fiber, such as vegetables. Poop on a daily basis. These prevent you from being constipated. If you are constipated, you can take a half-hour sitting bath in the bathtub 2 times in the morning and evening

Triscuits and guacamole. Make sure to increase your fiber intake slowly, otherwise you'll make things worse.
Prune juice. Just be sure to clear your calendar and plan to spend the next couple of hours near a clean bathroom.
I drank a heap of apple juice a couple of times I needed to. That helps me. Either that or cider.
Real answer: Saline enema. Laxatives (prune juice), stimulants (coffee), and opioids (kratom) might help in some cases (actually probably not the opioids, those are likely to make it worse), but if your constipation is really severe and you want immediate relief then an enema is the way to go. You can pickup prefilled enema kits at most drug stores.
I sadly had an enema, I hated it but it did make me feel better, now I just have IBS
Coffee.
Eat 2 Kiwi Fruits a day
Isn't available here atm
healthy diet
Eat stuff with a lot of fiber, if you still get plugged up you really should probably go to see the doctor and make sure something isn't wrong up in there.
Raw dragon fruit is like natural laxatives
