I have a big problem with constipation. I tried to eat only fruits but nothing changed. I want to take some laxative. My sister told me that I can use only natural laxative, like psyllium and flax seed. Anyone used psyllium or flax seed as natural laxatives? Are they useful?

Yes, of course. I can tell you that from my experience. Ground psyllium seeds are an excellent choice for that kind of problem. Psyllium is also useful in irritable bowel syndrome, spastic colon and hemorrhoids. Flax seed is used in may packaged products that treat constipation. You can buy the flaxseeds and crush them yourself. But you need to take it with lots of water.
