Answer 2

excellent bowel movements using this regimen..

of course you need fiber, water, exercise and to work on anxiety..

plus a few supplements that will make "going" easier and healthy.

To jump straight into a "high fiber diet" could make things worse

so just incorporate it into your daily routine within reason and patience..

People with constipation often have a magnesium deficiency

so dark green leafy vegetables are a great source(or supplement) ..

look into an excellent fish oil soft gel and definitely get some

ground flax seeds into the breakfast cereal or shake.

Your best friends are intestinal friendly bacteria... (same stuff found in good yogurt) skip the mucus forming yogurt

(slows down bowel movement)

and get yourself a pro-biotic from a health food store..

(with lactobacillus acidophilus/reuteri/rhamnosus and bifidus.

to soften the stool,breakdown infection, and create an improved environment.

AVOID all fried foods, refined flours, sugars,saturated fats,dairy, caffeine and alcohol

they all produce exess mucus in your GIT (gastro intestional track)

and just messes it all up..

water water water

work on your perspective on life and dont let stress get the best of you.. STRESS (work,medication,worries are all stresses on your body)

try working out less but intense and get yourself regular massage appointments... and tell your massuse that you have difficulty going

to the bathroom...he/she will be able to help you! its their job!

as a last resort.. if the pain is bad... get an herb called

Cascara sagrada

take three times a day till relief...

Please DON'T take for a long term... it just gets you dependent on it and just makes things worse... get it in a tincture(liquid drops)

dont abuse it....

Look into psyllium husks for non-nutritional bulk fiber

also try for quick relief...

large glass of water every ten minutes for a half hour.

sometimes it works...(most times)

eat smaller portions,

eat figs and prunes

eat everything that you didnt want to eat as a kid

try to set a rythmic routine of going to the bathroom to retrain your body and strengthen your muscles! same times everyday..

For a healthy fella'

three times a day is betta' !!

hope this was helpful

goodluck and work on it...

hope you feel better....

I have had IBS since my late teens. After $1,000s of dollars worth of tests, I was informed that I have what is known as "a lazy colon". This ole country doc advised me to take a 1qt e***a every morning. This has worked for me for over 35yrs. If you have any questions, feel free to Email me.
