Drink lots and lots of water...last time I was constipated...I realized I was somewhat dehydrated.

...and I hadn't taken my daily magnesium for a couple days either

It's important to consider whether you're talking about occasional constipation or chronic daily constipation. If it's daily, then do not take stimulant laxatives.

For daily constipation, I take Natural Calm magnesium citrate and powdered Vit C to bowel tolerance. Regular doctors typically suggest Miralax and/or fiber for daily use. I didn't like Miralax and fiber didn't help me.

Here's an article on WebMD about constipation and different types of laxatives.
