Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi all, I have been taking elaavil (amitriptyliine) for a year now. Sure, constipation can be a problem but the pill really helps me. Anyway, I have found that eating Dannon Activa yogurt for breakfast every day takes care of that side effect. They say it takes 2 weeks to get regular but if you eat it daily it will make a big difference. I like the vanilla. I had been putting fruit in it but a nutritional consultant I spoke with told me that the fruit will make it more difficult to digest and it is better to have the fruit 20 minutes later. I had been having some gas which is really unusual for me and I found that when I ate them separately the gas was gone. I do put some cinnamon on it which is supposed to be good for cholesterol and tastes good, too. I am working on writing that article.
