Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for difficulties with constipation. This is really one of my largest problems along with both upper and intestinal gas. My problems all started with constipation difficulties years ago and I have definately abused " natural " laxatives over the years on several occasions. I also have and am currently using colonics to help with detoxification and to try and rebuild my normal bowel function. I guess my question is, does anyone know of any good suggestions to get my bowel function back to normal or at least on the right tract without using extreme measures. I really feel that I need to somehow retrain my bowel and stop with these herbal laxatives. I am currently trying to excerise everday, do abdominal exercises, and take flax powder too. Drink lots of water, but have urinary problems too so I don't always hold onto all of it unfortunately. Ever since I gave up my senna laxative formula, I just can't get my bowels moving and I don't want to go back but I am starting to feel very constipated and clogged up again and don't want to keep all of that waste inside of me. Thanks, y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Dear y, I'm short on time right now but I do have a quick answer. Take 4,000 mgs. of Vitamin C right away. Then take 1,000 mgs. every hour or two until you reach bowel tolerance, which is diarrhea (that would be a blessing to you eh?). You can also take extra magnesium about 250 mgs. 4 times a day, as long as you also have at least 500 calcium. Get a citrate in capsule form if possible, with the amount of " elemental mag or cal " listed on the label. Of course if you are desperate you can take Maalox just until your bowels move again. After that get plenty of good oils, i.e. coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, cod liver oil, etc. along with your foods. Ensure you are not eating any grains too. I might have time tomorrow night.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks Bee, I was wondering, I do eat only brown rice. Does brown rice still cause constipation problems? > > Hello all, > > > > I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for difficulties with > > constipation.
