In reply to constipation- need help desperately!, posted by babs on December 17, 2002, at 9:58:27
I've got a few suggestions. Metamucil, but make sure you drink lots of water with it. Which brings me to water. First thing when you wake up drink 2 or 3 big glasses of water, some use warm water, but cold worked for me. What also worked very well for me was peppermint oil capsules. Make sure they are enteric coated. Your breath will even smell like peppermint as well as, well you know.
When things get really bad, try epsom salts. I don't recommend that unless you really have to go, because it works way to well.
Do you like Tahina (sesame paste), if you add that to your diet, that will help.
There are 1001 and different natural remedies out there, try looking it up. I will try to find some more stuff for you. But the above worked for me.
