I have tried TONS of stuff in the past and the BEST and speediest thing is magnesium supplements, better again if you can get it in dissolvable form but tablets work fine. Take about twice the recommended daily dose and work up if necessary. It s not harmful to do that. loads of water too. also make sure your roomate is not eating too many wheat based high fibre cereals like albran etc, this can surprisingly make the problem alot worse.(Alot of people -like me- are allergic to wheat so the result is all of the bloat and none of the action! Good Luck!!
she can get temporary relief with something like ex-lax or milk of magnesia. these should not be used long term.
she needs to get more fiber. one easy way it to buy some psyllium (Metamucil) and mix it in juice or water in the am
start with one heaping tablespoon then move up to 4 a day.
karo syrup in water.
What would work really fast is an enema. I know, gross, but it WILL work in about an hour.
swallow a piece of cheese.
then, swallow a mouse.
