Yalkut Yosef: 328
It is forbidden for a person suffering form constipation to take a suppository on Shabbat in the normal way. However, if it is done with a shinuy, such as with one's left hand instead of right, or two fingers instead of one, it may be used. It is permissible for such a person to eat specific fruits that would help him, even though he is eating them only to relieve his constipation. However, he should not eat too many of them as that would take away from his Oneg Shabbat. On the same note, a person with a loose stomach should not eat too many constipating fruits, such as bananas, as that will also take away from his Oneg Shabbat. It is also permissible for such a person to take something to help his situation. A baby that has a very loose stomach, or even an adult that is in danger of become dehydrated due to a loose stomach, should be taken to a hospital immediately.
