Eat a fresh peach, pear or a couple of prunes before you go to bed and drink plenty of water. You should be fine in the morning. Drinking lots of whole fruit juice (orange juice, apple juice, 100% fruit juice) should also help.
fiber, fiber, fiber, water, water, water. Drinking apple juice helps lubricate (for lack of a better word) your bowels. So down a bunch of that. Also prunes help or prune juice but I think prunes taste better than the juice. And you need fiber to help it pass easier. Their are lots of cereals that are fiber filled. You can also get fiber through oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp.
This is of course the natural way. I always suggest that. And remember, the more you strain, the worse it is for you. So if you aren’t completely ready to go, have some more fiber or juice and try again. You can get hemorrhoids from straining and those really aren’t fun.
But if you can’t go after trying the natural way, you can do suppositories or laxatives. Good luck… And try to take care of this asap because it is not good to be backed up for too long!
it might be a side effect to your antibiotic, you should check in with your doctor to see what you could do.
You should always always take a probiotic while on antibiotics, because antibiotics clean your system of both good flora as well as bad. The good flora help your immune system to stay healthy. Once all flora is gone from your intestinal system, you will get sick more easily. It also helps you to be regular with your bowel movements, and controls acne.

For immediate help, drink either aloe vera juice or prune juice. A little goes a long way! And add another strong tasting juice to the aloe vera, because it tastes horrible… but it works well, and it also keeps your skin clear.
Buy a laxative, they’re available at most pharmacies.
Just take an enema, you’ll be better within minutes.
A high-fiber diet.
Tons of water.
Exercise.
Eating a balanced diet, but cut out spaghetti and noodles and starchy and processed foods until your constipation is done.
