If I remember correctly, the pectin in apples and apple products will

bind you up, not the other way round. Try apricot or peach nectar or

prune juice, or better yet the fresh fruits eaten in copious

quantities.

 

Good luck!

First thing in the morning...on an empty stomach....consume the juice

of 3 or 4 medium sized bitter gourds [karela]. after 40 to 60

mins....drink a litre of water. this is the safest and surest method

to relieve constipation.

I would say lots of plant-based enzymes and lots of acidophilus.

 

You should have three bowel movements a day (one meal in, one meal

out). Maybe you could also make a food diary to learn which foods

affect you most, and eliminate them. I do have an elimination diet

that works well for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions - perhaps

it would work for this as well. If you want it, email me privately

and I'll send it to you.

/*Hi there!*/

 

All that I know is that eating a LOT of Vegetables just about ALWAYS

works! It also makes you healthier in many other ways! Eating a good

sized salad every day will do the trick! Fruits are also very good, as

well as vegetables. It's important to eat such that you DO have good

bowel movements, otherwise you will be adversely affecting your colon in

a bad way!

 

If you want some more detailed information, go to my Alternative

Doctor's site at http://www.abundalife.com/launchpad.html . Dr. Sorge is

the Greatest, and has the answer for just about every health problem,

without using any form of drugs!

 

Eliminating almost all sugars, except those from fruits and vegetables

helps overall health and body function, too! As well as elimination of

any simple carbohydrates, such as white bread & rice & pasta. Spinach

pasta is OK, and Multi-Grain breads.

 

But the answer to good bowel function is Vegetables, Vegetables and more

Veggies! I had 3 bowel movements yesterday! After my big Thanksgiving

meal with my relatives on Thursday, my bowel movements were less and

harder until I got home on Friday to my regular diet of, you guessed it,

Veggies. I do eat Fish & Meat also.

 

Good luck, and try eating more Vegetables! You'll live 10 years longer,

too, if you do!

 

Peace,

Steve

Hi,

Try blocking off left nostril and breathing only through the right

nostril while sat on the toilet.Also try rubbing the stomach in a

clockwise rotation to encourage the bowel to empty.In the East where

people squat there are less problems with the bowel as its a more

natural position.This can also be replicated by bending forward as if

putting your head between your knees while sat which also stimulates

the bowel.Combining all three methods always brings results for me.

Personally, I've also found that pre- and pro-biotics as well as digestive

enzymes have helped. (https://www.shaklee.net/maumann/product/DigestiveHealth)

So much of our body's natural workings centers around healthy digestion that

I've found it affecting many things positively!

Some questions first:

 

What are you doing for fibre?

Could you be deficient in magnesium?

How are the good wee beasties in your gut?

Are you getting any exercise?

Are you drinking enough fluid?

 

How about, for starters, you eat a whole apple

before going to bed, and wash it down with a

glass of warm water.

 

Spend the extra dollars and buy organic, so you

can eat it skin and all. The skin includes a powerful

anti-oxidant called Quercetin.

Consider it your Daily Doctor Repellent.

 

Drink another glass of warm water, ideally

with a squirt of lemon juice, as soon as you

get up in the morning.

 

Unless you are lactose intolerant eat some yoghurt

with an active culture daily.

That means the plain white stuff, without a lot of

junk added.

 

Walk 20 minutes a day if you possible can.

Do that for starters for a week and see what

happens.

 

Keep us posted eh?

Try psyllium seed with the husks. Take 1-2 caps, 1-3/x's/day

with water.

Drink filtered or bottled water. Half your body wt. in ozs./day.

Stay away from coffee and sodas. Nothing with aspertaine or sucolose.

Vegetable juicing can help. 1-3/glasses/day.

More raw foods in the diet;less meat or none.

Lower your stress. Try yoga and meditation or swimming and walking.

Jump on a mini trampoline several times/day.

Do a detox or a short fast with lots of water.

Hi!

 

I've had problems with constipation in the past and since I started

taking natural psyllium husk fiber everyday, it's no longer a

problem. I use a product like 'metamucil' that you mix with water

and drink. Walmart sell a cheaper version 'equate' that is just as

good. When necessary, you can add one capsule of 'Cascara Sagrada'

450 mg. Flax oil will also help things get moving.

 

Ultimately, it's best to add fiber to your diet with food. Fruits

like apples and vegetables are needed everyday. Start reading labels

and eating cereals, crackers that boast a high fiber content.

 

 

Good luck, Jean

I take 3000 mg of Vitamin C and 600 mg of Magnesium Citrate daily--- trust me-

you will NOT have constipation and your overall health will be greatly improved.

Hello Everyone,

 

I thought I'd reply to his post since I didn't see anything quite

like what I am suggesting. This is my formula for constipation when

all the things offered to me by everyone still did not work for me

over the years.

 

By the time I was an adult, I was so very tired of hearing about how

I did not have enough fiber in my diet. I would try to up my fiber

intake, only to have it cause horrible pain from gas. I became very

frustrated and had a doctor take a special X-ray of my stomach once

and show me " here's your problem, you are constipated. "

 

I was really upset with this doctor because I had been constipated my

entire life. It was not news flash. I just found nothing at all

helped. Even at the height of my exercise routine " basic training in

the Air Force " , I was still having problems, only too busy then too

think about it much.

 

After I came back from Desert Storm, I was very sick. Constipation

was just one of my many symptoms. I was sent to a gastro clinic for

some of the tests that were done on me and other Gulf vets for Phase

I, II, and III of the research.

 

I had solved my problem by the time I arrived at the gastro clinic

and revealed to the specialist what I was doing. I even asked if it

would cause me any harm. He said " no, not as long as you use only

plain water. "

 

I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome that day and have never

needed any medication for it. I had to get rid of this problem

quickly so the rest of my symptoms could be diagnosed. I found that

I would do anything to decrease any pain when I had so much of it

throughout my body.

 

Now you have probably guessed that I started doing colonics. I read

and researched how people do colonics and why. It really does not

work for some people who can't get emotionally passed the idea of

having to do this in addition to a normal system of elimination.

 

However, I think that most people don't do it correctly and get

frustrated with the results. I also think some people use things

like soap, which never made much sense to me.

 

Here's some rules I've learned:

 

1. I just use an inexpensive water bag you can buy at any drug store

and keep it clean. You don't need much force.

 

2. I always use only plain water or sometimes a bit of some natural

salt in the water. It helps with cramping.

 

3. I always have some sort of electrolyte drink before, during, or

after I do it to keep from getting dehydrated.

 

4. I take some Aloe Vera in pill or liquid before I start so it's

the next thing to go through my clean intestinal tract. This helps

the irritated feeling my bowel always had.

 

5. I take some FOS and acidophilus in yogurt, kefir, or pill after I

am done to give the good flora a chance to increase.

 

I personally take an FOS, an acidophilus pill, and a psyllium daily

because my problem was so chronic I just feel it helps keep things

moving. I did the colonic weekly until I found I needed to do it

less and less as my intestinal tract felt healthier. I adjusted

everything to fit my needs and continue to do so.

 

If I am going on a trip, and won't have time to do a colonic while

traveling, I will take one Casa Sagura pill daily throughout the

trip. This keeps me from having cramps and eliminating daily until I

can return.

 

As a footnote, I recently had a colonoscopy due to my age (52) and

because of a VA routine requirement for those over age 50. It

revealed no problems. I probably have the cleanest colon in town,

and I never have gas. I find it one less problem for me to ever have

to worry about.

 

I would welcome feedback on my routine since I am not a physician,

only someone who knows how to take care of me.

 

Empowering you love and light...

Sharon, thank you so much for your comments. I too have a chronic problem. I

see a specialist but am still having a problem. I have a medical condition,

it's called HSP, but the symptoms are a lot like MS which is a lot more common.

Bottom line, because of the medications, I have a problem! I take even more

medication for the constipation & drink water, high fiber, exercise, yada-yada!

~ How often to you do the treatment of the water bag?

 

Thanks again!

Joan,

 

I started doing colonics weekly at first and then less often as I

didn't need them as much. Now after several years of doing this, I

do it only when I need it. You will be able to tell. I have regular

movements now but still just know it makes me feel so much better not

ever having to worry about gas or the pain of having gas.

 

I've gone as long as 2 weeks and not felt the need to do a colonic at

all. I think you will just have to see how you feel. I know some of

the things I mention seem so simple, but I found them all helpful in

combating the pain and making the intestine feel healthy.

 

Since you are already seeing a specialist, you might want to ask them

about doing this simple kind of colonic and whether cutting back your

laxative medication should coincide with you doing the colonic.

 

I would also ask about any possible interactions with the medicine

you are already taking and the other things like the FOS or

Acidopholus. These are things you probably have already thought of,

medications, I have a problem! I take even more medication for the

Figs, daily-or if not on meds and clean spring clean-i just finished a liver

-gall clean which needed me to take a couple of doses of epsom salts in water

with honey-taste foul but clened out the cuboard-gave me diaorhrea , not to use

frequently but someting may be clogging u the pipes-irritable bowel is another

ball game -the colonics advice sounds sensible -watch the diet

I developed very stubborn constipation about 5 years ago. I tried

many things and nothing helped much. I went to an acupuncturist who

as it turned out had invented a unique personal colonic device called

Sitolonic. http://www.sitolonic.com/sitolonic.html

 

The great thing about this device is it allows you to do colonics

while sitting normally on the toilet. It's very compact, easy to set

up and use, comfortable, works extremely well, and is portable so you

can take it with you on trips. If there's a downside it's that it

costs about $500 but for the peace of mind it gives you it's well

worth it in my opinion.

Every issue in the body is attached to an unresolved

emotion. Louise L Hay say's this about

Constipation:Refusing to release old ideas. Stuck in

the past. Sometimes stinginess.

 

In energy work,we know that old core issues and

unresolved emotions ( our baggage) is stored in the

Large Intestine. When we resolve issues, our

intestines will stop holding it all in.

Thanks, I will pass that on the folks on the PD list!

One of the many miserable effects of Parkinson's

is stubborn constipation even on a good diet.

I hang out on the list on behalf of a friend with

severe early onset PD.
