I have been constipated all of my life. I tried all the things that you mentioned( probably could have improved my diet a little better).

For the past month I have been taking "Experience" mfg by Awareness Products. It is excellent!! My body responded pretty quickly to the product. I went from 3-4 bms a week to 5-6 within 2 weeks time. For a little over a week I have been going at least 1x a day, usually 2x though. It is an incredible product. I highly recommend it!!

This product is rather expensive, but it is worth it! I open the capsules and put the herbs in hot water, to drink like a tea.

Be sure to maintain your water intake, eat properly etc...

If you have any questions let me know...


P.S. The ingredients are:

Psyllium Seed Husk, Rhubarb Root, Fennel Seed, Cornsilk, King Solomon's Seal and Kelp.

You might want to try LB12 a very good probiotic containing bifidum bacterium that helps to cleanse the colon. Many users who tried it reported good bowel movements within a day.

oh pluggy, i hope you're feeling better since you wrote this first post!

i've had plug problems too, mostly from experimenting with many different dietary programs, i got my body so confused and sensitive!

the thing that has worked for me, after getting real-life, in-person testimonials from a few people i know... is dr. Richard Schulze intestinal formula #1. it has been wonderful! one capsule at night with dinner, or just after, usually does the trick. sometimes 2 are needed if i'm really out of whack.

that and a clean & healthy Diet vegan diet. lots of veggies, fruits, primarily raw foods, occasional whole grains & beans (all full of fiber!). i've recently returned to this dietary lifestyle after a few years of experimentation with some of the "new and improved" fad diets. duh! for me personally, i wish i had remained with my initial instincts (was whole foods vegan for 7 years before all this experimentation)! i never had poop problems until i started messing around with the food intake.

if you want to get more info on Dr. Schulze you can call 1-800-HERBDOC. they'll send you a catalogue, which in itself is a wealth of info!

feel better soon!
