Here are some home remedies that do not contain sugars: 

Take folic acid. An insufficient  intake of folic acid can lead to constipation.

Ginger tea is a great home remedy for constipation. It helps start bowel movement.

To clean and heal the digestive system take Aloe vera juice twice a day

Six drops of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and six drops of thyme (Thymus spp.) diluted by 1 oz of almond oil, olive oil, or another carrier oil can relieve constipation when used to massage the abdomen.

A tablespoon of castor oil once a week before bed ensures regular motions throughout the week, have it with half a cup of orange juice or milk.
