This is Severus Snape. He and a bunch of Slytherins are struggling to poop. There's no official diagnosis, just a kink in family bathroom management. We used common powdered herbs you can find in your kitchen, plus Cascara Sagrada, mixed in applesauce. A ratio of 1tsp/adult size person was used to determine dosage for the whole gang. Two or three doses is all that was necessary to relieve constipation. That means that, within half a day, the drama was over.
To get the full story, watch this three minute video: https://youtu.be/tJKc_Zsqte8

Patient #3 is constipated and hasn't cleared their bowels in two days. The pain is now prohibiting them from eating breakfast so the severity went up and discomfort is high.

 - Your suggestions for relief (including, but not limited to)
     - Behavioral: perform I-L-U massage on bowels
     - Food as medicine: drink hot tea with herbs that will help with constipation and avoid processed, fatty, or sweet foods or food with gluten, dairy, and bananas.
     - Concoctions: I made a tea with mint, licorice, cinnamon, slippery elm, fennel, and orange peels then added psyllium.
 - Description of success (including, but not limited to): In the span of 3 hours, Patient #3 had two cups of tea and then went running for the bathroom. They felt relief from constipation and was regular the subsequent day.
