Jbug, what a horrible thing to have to deal with (I KNOW) not only is it miserable and constricting in your life (no pun intended) but also embarassing to discuss!!!

I can't take ANY medications for this issue because they MAKE me constipated (it's called paradoxical reactions). Once you have plenty of natural food remedies on hand, think about stopping the medication (talk to your doctor ... any one medication should have solved the problem, but alas, doctors only know how to prescribe MORE stuff!!!)

Prunes work for most people (and was the main food used before there were any pharmaceutical products ... other than cod liver oil.) I'm allergic to prunes.

I refuse to be constipated ever again in my life. I take a very constipating pain medication ... and manage very well with food stuffs. Any one of the following should make a difference for you:

I prefer a daily leafy green salad (romaine lettuce is best) with cucumber slices, or celery too ... olive oil dressing (or vinegarette) ...

Oatmeal (this is a perfect food ... don't overcook to dry,stiff though)
Bran -Ground (can be sprinkled on pasta meals, cereals, salads)
Apples (for some people this helps with elimination (not me))
Hot drink, tea, coffee or cocoa (I suppose even hot water would work)
Fruits with high water content: watermelon, cantaloupe, papaya, grapes
Plain popcorn (or with light salt)
sunflower seeds, peanuts, flax seeds, walnuts
Fish: salmon, tuna (the omega 3s are terrific for more than just this)

Eat fruits WITH skin, eat chicken WITHOUT skin

NO juices ... they do not have the fiber nor the goodness you need.
red meat binds
no soda (IDK why but maybe the chemicals in them react with me?)

I freeze the seedless grapes and knosh on them all day long.

Put out a pitcher of water (or keep in the fridge) full each morning, and make sure you drink all of it each day.... straight up, not in other drink mix.



It's a bit of a mix getting to the right fix for oneself, but once you find it, it's wonderful. If you need to use an enema kit (rather than go to ER) by all means, do so!

Frozen fruit might lose some of their nutrition but raspberries still freeze well! http://www.naturalhealth-solutions.n...iber-magnesium
