Re: I might as well be from Mars

I can relate. Senna tea with a little vitamin C is the only thing that works for my constipation. Fiber does not do anything for me as well. I think for fiber to work with constipation is that you have to have enough of the  right beneficial bacteria to convert the fiber to short chain fatty acids which then helps with constipation. If someone has little to none of the right beneficial bacteria then fiber might not do much good.

I like senna over cascara because I found cascara to overstimulate the liver because of its very bitter qualities. Cascara tea is almost painfully bitter to drink.
