Generally speaking if diet is the only problem causing constipation you could need more roughage in your diet. This would be more green vegetables and lettuce. You could also be dehydrated. Do you drink a lot of coffee or tea. These are both diuretics as are most soft drinks. Drink less of these and more plain tap water.
Constipation is serious. If a person remains constipated too long they can become seriously ill and eve die. If this is your problem then see a doctor for you problem may be more than just diet related. If you have no insurance go to a hospital Emergency Room. Life threatening problems cannot be turned away. Constipation is such a problem. They have to treat you with or without insurance [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Dragonflymagic answered Sunday January 3 2016, 1:33 am: My own mother had an intestinal blockage, some kind of kink in her intestines that Drs needed to operate on cus she was in pain and couldn't have bowel movements. Yes, thats rare but thats a medical reason why there could be something wrong. In seeing the Dr. they will recommend what you can take if its just diet related to get things flowing again and may have you talk to a dietician about your diet to get trained as to what to eat for maximum gut health.
If you have no insurance and because of that dont want to see a Dr. you can alway ask a store pharmacist what to take if you are very constipated and see what they recommend. However, if what they recommend doesn't work in the recommended time, you might just have to go to the Dr. anyways to avoid the greater costs of emergency room as an old boss of mine experienced.
She'd been constipated an extremely long time and one day experienced what she thought was heart pains and a heart attack. After emergency room costs, the end result was severe constipation which can lead to your body starting to have trouble in other areas and can result in other organs having pains or starting the shut down process. So do not wait. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

Try lying on your back with youre legs bent and your knees to your chest too.
You can also take tablets to aid this but check label first. See a doctor though to check it's nothing serious. [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]
