My father is 70 years old and is suffering from severe constipation. He has several medication, which are probably the cause of his condition. But, is there a laxative that can help in giving him some relief?

We would rather not introduce another pill to his pharmacy regiment. I suggest making sure he drinks enough plain water and has high-fiber food like oranges, apples with the skin, figs, prunes, etc.
