How To Cure Constipation?

Doctor, I have had constipated for the past 4-5 days. I was on Lutuda for several weeks & my doctor advised me to discontinue & take Benedrll every 4 hrs with 8 ozs of water. another pharmicist recommended prune juice mixed with clear laxative powder. Nothing seems to working even eating apples, yougurts etc. Do you have any other solution(s) that will produce fast results?? Thx, Bettie McGovern 214 215 5152 or YYYY@YYYY
