Get miralax or the generic version and put one or two caps in 4 to 6 ounces of any drink you like. Juice works best for me. Do this everyday and more than once if needed and it will work. I have tried everything known to man including elax and the nasty fleet drink stuff, none worked like this. There's no cramps and no potty emergencies with miralax either.

Go to your local Walmart or drug store and purchase Myralax, or the generic equivalent. It helps to regulate your system. It is a laxative, but it's gentle and works over time. You should produce a bowl movement within a few days at the most. It does not cause cramps or any kind of pain, it's tasteless and odorless. You can put it in any drink or food.

stop eating and drinking a lot of dairy! That will contribute to it. Going to sound gross but it works...get some prune juice warm it up and add a tablespoon of butter. The butter actually dilutes the strong prune taste. It will be kinda sweet. Sip dont chug. In a few hours you will go and it will be gentle not explosive :)

Apples, lots of water, prune juice, fruits, veggies and whole grains ought to get the plumbing going again. If not get some "Dieters Tea". Avoid bananas and rice.

take a box of exlax and melt it dip prunes in the hot liquid....let the covered prunes cool in the fridge...pop a prune in your mouth and follow it with a shot of extra virgin olive oil and continue until all items are finished...if your still clogged up try metamucil mixed with vodka and tabasco and drink till all....if you still cant crap you better go to the ER because at this point you are definetly gonna need professional help
