Recommendations for estrogen/constipation issues


Yes, it's fascinating how much we just take as it comes when it comes to being symptomatic and uncomfortable. Our quality of life gets lower and lower and we hardly even notice or remark upon it, and if we do, say it's all part of getting older. Then next thing you know you're in the hospital needing a transplant or something awful! argh! So good that you're dealing with this NOW. :)

Your first objective must be diet and creating healthy stools. Little ball shaped ones are NOT good, it means you have a lack of good microbes, lack of bile and lack of good fiber. Your colon is probably textbook misshapen. :(

your other symptoms are all about the liver and estrogen, and lack of Vitamin K and other blood factors due to microbe and EFA deficiencies.

It would be best to start out with at least 3 colonics if you can. If you can't, get your own enema bucket setup - flushing and retention enemas are great for exercising the colon back into shape AND clean all at the same time. Please read Dr. Jensen's book for more info - the link is in my Bowel Management notes.

You should also start taking fiber, preferably flax seed. It's best to buy them whole from the health food store and then grind them in a coffee grinder and drink them with lots of water - they will soak up about 5 times their weight/size in water. Or find a commercial intestinal cleanser that has flax, guar gum, apple pectin, psyllium is okay too.

At least 2-3 weeks of an oxygen-based intestinal cleanser would also be a smart move for you. Colosan or Oxypowder (preferably Colosan) would liquify any old mucoid placque, making it soft and easily expelled.

you should also consider changing the arrangement of your toilet bowl. You need to be crouching rather than sitting up when you have a BM. You can use a training potty or buy a kind of apparatus that goes around the bowl, giving you a step to stand on, or put something yourself around the bowl to stand on so you can crouch rather than sit. This puts your colon in the right shape for voiding completely and easily.

Also, please consider taking Triphala. The rest of what you can do for your bowels is in the bowel management notes, these are just what I think you really ought to do. :)

Liver management is quite important, please do get a good herbal supplement like Planetary Formula's and consider drinking dandelion tea.

After the Colosan, you should start the probiotics - both Primal Defense and live acidophilus, or just the acidophilus. Spectrum and Solaray are good labels.

Please be sure to visit www.sensiblehealth.com and read all about the connection between the liver and hormones and follow a non-estrogenic diet somewhat. You can eat all the fresh veggies you want and take flax oil, but beware of things like licorice that have powerful estrogenic effects.

Your diet should look something like this:

Breakfast: protein shake (see FAQ for recipe) or hot cereal (Lundburgh's almond rice and bob's red mill are the tastiest easiest that I've found)
Lunch: Kichadi or veggie or morroccan soup with grains or lentil soup + cleansing carrot salad or basic cleansing salad; fresh-squeezed veggie juice (carrot/apple/beet/parsley/ginger)
Snack: nutbar; almond butter; apple; pear;
Dinner: Pasta with olive oil, basil, garlic, red pepper flakes; soup & salad; steamed veggies and broiled salmon; stir-fry veggies and rice; Kichadi; hot cereal; large sweet potato
Before bed: cleansing drink
Drunk throughout day: warm herbal tea, never iced drinks.


You should have fish 2x week or less, beets 2x week or more, carrots nearly daily, sweet potato as a meal by itself about 3x week. Eat dark green leafy veggies near daily. Add kale to soups, it's really good that way, or sautee spinach with butter and garlic - yum! :)
Use Flax seed oil OR extra virgin coconut oil in place of butter
Avoid all dairy except for eggs
NO commercial salad dressings except for a flax-based one from the health food store (purple bottle if they have it), make your own from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, flax seed oil, spices.
Avoid all refined sugars and flours and everything made from them. Avoid corn.
For sweetener, use Stevia, brown rice syrup, grade b maple syrup.
Eat a low-protein diet with only organic meats, no hormones, that's very important. No chicken or beef that's been given growth hormones. Usually you have to go to an actual butchers for the real thing.
Drink at least a quart of water daily in between meals.

Figure on doing at least 8 liver flushes, with a bit of kidney maintenance in between every 3-4 flushes (see FAQ).

Okay, hope this makes sense! :)
