You need both, but start with probiotics to replenish the essential bacteria in your gut, 2 capsules a day.
Take digestive enzymes, 1 capsule with every meal.
Make sure both are from a vegan source; dairy source probiotics can aggravate the problem, and with enzymes, you don’t want to ingest powdered cow and pig organs.
Brown rice will also help. Both the fiber, and the damp properties of it will sort out the constipation.

Both. Take probiotics a couple of times a day when you’re not eating. Take digestive enzymes right before you eat.
Also for chronic constipation – drink organic aloe vera.
Most naturopathics will tell a patient that constipation is directly related to diet.
Make sure you are eating enough fiber. Buy fiber if you need to. Standard Process makes a GREAT fiber capsule and it’s organic.
Make sure you’re drinking the amount of water you’re supposed to be drinking also.
Avoiding milk products and sugars will also help.

increased fiber and increased fluids should work…eating an apple, orange, orange juice, bran cereal, brown rice, water…

Most of our customers report better regularity from probiotics than from enzymes, but both are important for a healthy digestive tract, as is adequate fiber intake (whether taken supplementally or in your foods).
If you are continuously constipated, that typically means that you either don’t have enough fiber or probiotics in your system on a regular basis. You’ll likely need an adequate supply of both to achieve regularity. Enzymes will just help to break down food in your stomach so it’s easier to absorb in the end, but it doesn’t have as much of an impact directly towards regularity.

senekot-s is a pretty good herbal constipation reliever, with a stool softener to ease the pain.
