Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 That is NOT GOOD at all. You need to have at least one a day - if not you need intervention. The best source I have found is a product called OxyPowder Caps http://www.oxypowder.com/?s_kwcid=oxypowder|1189072508 It's a little pricey but works like a charm. I would take 2-3 at night before bed when I was detoxing hard. If this is too expensive then you can do 1 Tbs ground flaxseed 2x per day (morning / night) and that will get things moving too. Your body has to be retrained to go. We (as Americans) tend to ignore the signs of needing to eliminate and don't take the time to do it so our body gets out of the rhythm of going. Re: STEPH on cofactor What you are doing looks good. You should have 2-3 bowel movements a day. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 thanks, I will try that. In over 50 years, I have never gone more than 2-3 times a week. joy ----- Original Message ----- From: ladybugsandbees That is NOT GOOD at all.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I had the same problem. It got worse when I became hypo. All I do now is take probiotics and digestive enzymes and one tri fiber pill (all from Swanson) and it took care of the problem. I also add nuts (walnuts or almonds) to cereal and salads. I now go at least twice a day, sometimes 3.2009 walking milesGoal 600 miles for 2009July miles - 18 milesYear - 236 mileshealthylivingwithhypothyroidism/ From: Joy <happismith@...>Subject: Re: 2-3 a day???iodine Date: Monday, July 13, 2009, 8:42 AM thanks, I will try that.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi Joy Once you begin experiencing 2-3 bowel movements daily, you will begin to feel better and likely have more energy. Constipation is almost at disease-levels in the US because of poor nutrition and little exercise. There is an oxygen-based product called Pure Vegan Mag O7. It is much cheaper than Oxy-Powder in price and has the very same active ingredient and will work just as well – some people actually say it works better. I have used both (myself and with clients) and because of pricing prefer the Pure Vegan Mag O7. It is manufactured by a company who has been providing high-end oxygen products for over 30 years. Just another option since we all want to get the most for our buck. I use it with all my clients and have never had one that it did not work for. It is also important to use a good spore-bearing probiotic. Mag O7 will not harm the friendly bacteria; however, keeping the digestive tract populated with good bacteria will also help tremendously with constipation issues. http://tinyurl.com/nxd2rg Be Well Dr.L From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of Joy Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 7:42 AM iodine Subject: Re: 2-3 a day??? thanks, I will try that.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 You mean besides being hypo? Nope. I am taking 5.5 grains of Armour right now and will start 6.0 next week. Still working on getting it right. I am going to do the iodine testing to see if I need it, just waiting on the $$ to do it first. joy ----- Original Message ----- That still doesn't make it OK.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Having gut issues may be the reason why you need such a high dose of thyroid meds. It is not being absorbed properly. I'd be curious to see if that changed when you are able to get more regular. Re: 2-3 a day??? You mean besides being hypo? Nope.
