Re: Chronic Constipation

Hi there. My mother has the same problem and it makes me so nervous for her health. She only goes maybe once every two weeks and that is with the help of multiple laxatives... Strangely, she eats very well- loves fruit- especially apples, drinks her water, and gets enough fiber. There is no good explanation for it other than that she must be so compacted that it doesn't matter what she does- it just will not come out. I know that a lot of people do not believe in them, but I am a bid advocate of colonics. I have been trying to talk her into it for months now and I would make the same suggestion to you. If that does not interest you, there are several fasts you can do as well such as The Master Cleanse. Not only are they great for you, but they help clear everything out of your system and open you up for regular BMs in the future. If you can stomach it, Epsom Salts w/ water is a huge help and is actually encouraged as part of The Master Cleanse. Whatever you choose to do, I think it would be most helpful to completely empty your system of "crap" :-) first and then work on regulating your BMs. You may require a mild laxative tea after every meal in the beginning until you can train your body again, but I think an inital cleanse is the key.

Hope that helps.... Good luck- I hope it all works out for you!
