Sounds like you are trying to improve your health in this area without the use of laxatives? That’s been my goal. I took a trip to the health food store and I have been doing the following for the last week…
Probiotic / Prebiotic supplement 2-3 times a day on empty stomach or between meals with full glass of water
Digest Gold by Enzymedica – I’m taking 1 capsule before most meals and an additional one if its a big meal or red meat / dairy
WATER! – In the sticky constipation posts I read alot of people saying water, water, water – I stocked up on bottled water and got a 2 brita filters.. Trying to work my way up to 8 full glasses a day, everyday. I think this is much more important then we might think..
TIP THAT I KNOW HELPS – ABDOMINAL SELF-MASSAGE
I challenge anyone really having issues with constipation to give this a shot 1-2 times a day (morning night in bed for me)
Theres lots of good and easily accessible info online about technique and benefits of stomach / belly / ab massage
For those who don’t want to search online heres a quick way you can start with just 2 minutes twice a day.
While in bed laying on your back simply apply firm pressure with the fingers and massage in a CLOCKWISE motion… you can start with small circles at the belly button and work to large circles from near your hips to the base of your ribs. Thats it!
hope this helps
