Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hello everyone, I have a 66 yo female who has had a long history of constipation. She has been taking OTC laxatives qd for years to have a b.m. She has a pretty healthy diet, drinks lots of water, and exercises regularly. Constipation runs in her family and in the past when she would increase her fruits, veggies and water it would help. NO longer... She has had a colonoscopy recently and had a small polyp which was removed. She has been on AB long term for rosacea, which she just discontinued after my visit. My treatment plan: HMF 1 tsp qd, seeds, COP, water, apple cider vinegar before meals, Gammodyn. I also told her to not take her laxatives every day and her body would take time to get into a normal routine again. She waited five days, giving herself two fleet enemas, and then took her laxative. On the sixth day had a b.m. Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Any products that may help with this? Any ideas for me to consider? Thank you, Hageman, ND Beaverton, OR ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi , I have had a number of patients with chronic constipation. What I did for them was: 1) Dysbiosis therapy (along with basic drainage of liver, of course) 2) Constitutional homeopathy. Dysbiosis therapy works well, but, in my experience, it can take much longer than Constitutional homeopathy in treatment of constipation. Overnight (literally speaking), you can turn constipation around if you find the correct homeopathic remedy. And, if so, they don't usually have to continue to take numerous medicines everyday month after month to treat their constipation. If you don't do homeopathy, then start dysbiosis therapy which will definitely make a difference for their constipation. I like Priority one's Caprylic plus (it will kills bacteria, yeasts, and parasites) for dysbiosis therapy. HMF is necessary, of course. HMF Replete (1/2 a packet a day or even 1 daily) can be used in place of a laxative, and in some cases works very well to maintain good daily BMs, but not a cure by itself. Castor oil packs can make a huge difference as well. Best wishes. Sharum Sharif Best wishes. Hayter wrote: Hello everyone,I have a 66 yo female who has had a long history ofconstipation.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi , I just had a patient who was having 1 BM/week! She is now going 1-2x daily simply with 2Tbsp ground flax seed and 1g magnesium/day in divided doses. I used regular Mg citrate, not magnelevures b/c I was looking for the osmotic effect. I know this has not gotten to the cause, but at least she is moving things out! Good Luck, D Dr. Deirdre Orceyre Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine drorceyre@...
