Re: psyllium and no more constipation!

Hi Spelmangrad! So...do you know you have to drink lots of water when you're a coffee drinker because coffee dehydrates you? Have you ever tried castor oil packs to get things moving? I hear that works well...wow...if you only go once every two weeks...if you start taking the Bentonite and psyllium while being constipated like that you'll just get more constipated. You really want to start getting your bowels moving before starting on the b&p. hmmmmm. Maybe Ptree will say something here. I wonder...if your main goal is to get your bowels moving (and not about cleansing) then what if you were to take the psyllium *with* meals? Wouldn't it then bulk up your stool and if you drink lots of water...maybe that would help you eliminate? Once that is happening, then you could take some water b&p's one hour away from food to start the cleansing action?

Hopefully you'll get more ideas than just my garbled ones! Castor oil packs...lots of warm water first thing in the morning...for sure, though.

I hope I hear that your bowels are moving soon!
