What Causes Constipation In A Healthy Person?

My husband is riding a bicycle 100 miles day with a team. He is very healthy and eats healthy. He is now constipated. He cannot take a laxative because he needs to ride another 100 miles tomorrow; they are on a tour to NY. What can he do to get relief? He did use fleets this evening and did feel some better.

wait until the tour is over and attempt a laxative. other remedies will likely cause him to have issues during the ride.
