  • Constipation?

    I think the lack of my normal amount of fruits (I used to eat pre-diet) and lack of wheat products since I am sensitive to them are causing constipation. What are you best remedies to cope with this. I feel like my whole system is off. I do have irritable bowel but it has been in remission for a while. Thanks!!

    I use miralax this has helpped keep me regular, and hence lessens pain in my bladder. I take it daily but you should talk to your Dr. about it as I think the bottle say to use for only so many days.

      constipation

      Hi,
      I use Metamucil Clear and Natural when things get really backed up. I also drink hot water with honey which works very well for me most of the time.

      I like to cook with olive oil-I sautee zuch's and mushrooms and red peppers together in olive oil frequently. The morning after I have that, any constipation, unless it's really bad, is gone!

        Hi,
        I find that regular use of Colostrum helps with constipation. I've seen quite a few other posts on this forum that indicates that many other people also find this helpful.

          I increased my magnesium and used Miralax. My whole digestive system was rather off after I started the IC diet and went on some of the meds for bladder pain. So many fruits I didn't eat anymore, and my morning banana and yogurt was eliminated which didn't help. I had to start supplementing with probiotics and fiber capsules also.
