Been struggling with ongoing constipation for decades, due to slow ?motility? .Found this product which has been a life saver and really works for me.
Super Cleanse by Nature's Secret | Herbal and Probiotic Support, 100 Tablets
It contains Cascara Sagrada stimulat which maybe habit forming, so the label recommends a break after 30 days of use.
So thankful to have found it.
Lionsmane helps to relieve my constipation.
Awesome... did you notice that once you tamed your constipation that your other symptoms got better of has progression slowed?
Hard to measure, but maybe my swallowing is a bit better. My posture is better but that may be a result of my twice a week Physical Therapy that I have been doing for a few months now.
Yes, it can be habit forming. What works for me is psyllium husks. All I need is 1 tbsp every other day. Some people may need more, but it is a natural treatment and the fiber helps the microbiome.
Me too - btw, psyllium is known as ispaghula in the UK, as well as India, where it comes from
I am taking Pysylluim husks in the form of Metamucil nightly along with flaxseed, fishoil. In addition Mag07, mega doses of Vitamin C most days. Also Natures Plus Ultra-Zyme during meals to help with digestive enzymes.
Smooth Move Tea works to keep me regular
Old fashioned Milk of Magnesia has been a great rescue remedy
Thanks for all the reponses.Agree! Milk of Magnesium is definitely effective as a rescue remedy. Just don't like taking it too often. . Also i use probiotics, thiamine and BST, eat dates, apricots, prunes but like to keep intake of sugar to a minimum.
- Use Mannitol much less lately.
- Will look for the Smooth Move tea again (contains Senna - shortterm use) and maybe Millet Seed ...
- Lions Mane may be on my food sensitivities list "mushrooms , gluten, dairy, rye, barley, pineapple, etc" although might try it.
-Maybe a gut microbiome test might be enlightening for me. Sensitivities have increased lately, maybe histamine or Mast cells?
- Did read recently that Levodopa may cause constipation? Ugh
Hmm, I'm wary of remedies that deal with symptoms rather than the root cause(s). Could the root causes be a lack of iodine, hypothyroidism, DSV bacterial overgrowth, SIBO or Candida? Would SBO and other probiotics, berberine, glycomacropeptide, iodine etc deliver a better outcome?
An interesting observation about anxiety and constipation
