My husband has constipation a lot, besides all the above items the best thing that works is Milk of Magnesiam, works every time fir him.
I too have constipation, never before being diagnosed. Try Coconut water and Miralax. Helps some.
Thank you, I appreciate that I will mention to her you're recommendations. The tea sounds interesting too.
High fiber, low sugar diet, more water drinking. Some people find a tea called "smooth move" works for them. Depending if upu are taking blood thinners but a combination of prune juice and cranberry juice can be helpful. Flaxseed can be a helpful tool in the ahed.
Thank you Dale she did, she had to change neurologists. She's seeing another one and getting a colonoscopy. I didn't know about the vagus nerve .That's very interesting. I'll have to look that up. Thank you for your information,
