Re: 22 y.o. severely constipated
Hi there, I am totally empathetic to your situation and understand it more than you know.
I am in my 20's as well and as a former bodybuilder and higher protein consumer, I had accumulated a case of constipation that led me to
colonics (an enema on a larger scale, using much more water, but is very expensive). Herbal laxatives are effective, but something that can be a side effect is discoloration of your colon which is something to think about. Also, over time, herbal laxatives can weaken the muscles of the smooth intestinal walls.
You are doing fantastic keeping up with the fruits and veggies. Water consumption is vital as well. 1/2 your bodyweight in
ounces per day, distilled or reverse osmosis water is essential. No tap.
Something I have found very effective is a pretty neat supplement called
Oxypowder .
Simple to use and no side effects.
