If you do not find relief, you can combine several methods. For example, you can increase fiber in your diet, go for a walk, take some senna tea and try some yoga postures. Do not mix more than one type of laxative at the same time.

Try the lemon water. Lemon acid soften stool and facilitate bowel movement.
