Constipation

Also, I take Flaxseed and Omega oil capsules - the wife seems to think I need routine maintenance - these certainly help too,

^This, the long term effects of this habit pays off good

Doctor Nutrition (me) approves
 
Vitamin C. Eat three oranges, nectarines etc a night. Processed fruit juice does not work. Beer (draught) also keeps you 'regular'.

Oh and carbs don't help either so maybe try atkins diet for a week or so.
 
Atkins should also benefit, but atkins is a lifestyle not a diet
 
Nee ***, if the Epsom salts drink doesn't work for you even I don't know.

How many teaspoons to a glass of water?

I would recommend the following:
This is Bicarbonate Of Soda not Espom salt I'm talking about here.

Weight < 80Kg

15g Per 100ml water.

3 times a day, might take up to 2 - 3 days to start noticing effects. When noticed, don't stop maintain 10-15g 2 times a day for as long as possible.

Weight > 80Kg

20 - 25g per 100ml water.

3 times a day, also might take up to 3 days to notice effect, maintain by 15-20g twice a day.


Remember Bicarbonate of soda.

Epson salt is easier all you do is 2 tea spoons and 50ml of water, you should have a bowel movement between 30 minutes and 2 hours after consumption.
(Epson salt will work as a laxative)


Personally I would prefer the bicarbonate of soda as this brings your body into an Alkaline state, essential for cell repair.

A alkaline body state is a healthy body state.

Blood is normally 7.4

and for those on this forum suffering intellectual constipation, who's posts comprise endless wind passing - any suggestions ?
 
1. Be active, gym or do some sort of sport, the activity will help.

2. For me, drinking coffee always makes me wanna dump. Not sure why, but it does. Worth a shot.

Black Coffee
 
Dis-Chem generic Senna Tablets. Take two every night. It really is that simple.

Actually it's not if there is an underlying medical condition. If you're suffering and eat right and taking all these needs, you should really get a endoscopy done.
 
OP, do you ingest a lot of opiate type drugs like codiene,morphine, tramadol etc? Those are known to cause constipation, along with benzodiazepine-type drugs as well.
 
I also recall something about needing to bath in Epsom salts as it's absorbed by the skin better.
