I have ginger and lemon usually as my first drink of the day. I feel it helps to clear my system before i eat and drink the naughty stuff. Coffee and tea!

Hi Bobbyrita Just started a week ago to have Lemon and Ginger Tea , I find also that it has a calming effect for the IBS. For constipation I find dates work for me (2 or 3 each day) and keep me regular.

Stay safe

I don't know if I like dates but thank you I will buy some. I wake up every morning feeling so lousy and depressed. I have been using suppositories and liquid magnesium citrate.

Every morning is miserable for me, as well. Constipation is my major problem. Thank you for the suggestion of ginger tea. Is It something that you just buy?

Dates never helped me, either. Have found considerable help with 2kiwi a day

i will try kiwis again. i am really scared now. i just took another bottle of magnesium citrate which was the only thing that was working. the dates didn't do anything

Have you tried milk of magnesia . Or laxido sachets from the doctor that soften the stool . It can help as well but you get them from the doctor . They help me but it’s a on going battle . That we have to battle every day . Hope you find something to help you .

i used phillips caplets for years and they really helped and then they stopped. rats

i have lately been using ducolax chewys. i take a lot but they are working. i will probably start with magnesium citrate in a bottle. weird i haven't had much gas lately. i don't know why. thank you so much.
