Peggy, you may well have a problem with gluten that could have been exacerbated by the wheatgrass. I have to admit that I hadn't considered that until I read Propaul's response. So I also suggest that you forget about using wheatgrass in the future, and also to note any negative reactions you may experience after consuming other wheat products.

Do you have any other health problems that might contribute to your constipation problems, such as diabetes, heart disease or cancer, or are you taking any medications that list constipation as a side effect?

My mom has always had sluggish bowels as long as I can remember (as seems to be a problem over several generations in our family), but she is in her mid-50's now, and things have worsened for her in this aspect of her health in just the past 5 years or so. I totally agree with the advice Propaul gives when he encourages you not to worry if you find yourself becoming constipated on a more frequent basis, and the remedies he suggests.

I remember a quote from my training by the late gastroenterologist, Dr. Walter Alvarez when describing a patient who came to him concerned about becoming dependent on the enema habit. Dr. Alvarez said to her: "Far better the enema habit than the constipation habit!"

I agree.
