Petroleum oil and index finger, yeah, just that simple. My boss, the manager of a chain diner, does the same. She said hey, you just need to poke and pick every time you feel it's stuck up there. Yep, four years after my last childbirth, I got out of the constipations entirely. Now every morning I'd have my bowel movement at the same time. Right after I got off my bed and have a sip of water I went to bathroom to poop. I used to have constipation whenever I travel out of town, so I brought a small tube of petroleum jelly. And it does the magic. After years of doing the same routine every morning, I finally don't need the manual efforts anymore. So the only way to get rid of constipation entirely is to force yourself to have the colon emptied at the same time daily, ideaily on your own toilet bowl with a low profile squat stool to step on. A small tube of petroleum jelly would do. Don't be afraid, a portable bidet, toilet paper and some soap will get you cleaned up in no time.
