I thought I finally had this constipation thing licked, but now it's been a week again. I DON'T want to go the laxative route again, but the oily supplements aren't affecting anything now. That worked for several weeks, but, geeez.. I really hate this.

Hi Lisa~ 2 years ago I had a severe problem with costipation. I would use laxatives, suppositories and powders only to get backed up again. I had a colonoscopy to rule out any problems. Nothing!! I finally bought a colon cleanser and used this for 1 month, skipped a month, then used it another month. It worked for me. I go every day now. If I do have a day that I feel constipated, I take a cleanser and that helps. Good luck cuz I know the discomfort your going through~ Cindy

I have the world's slowest bowel system--2 days no solid food and one day of no food and the icky laxative stuff, and I *still* wasn't cleaned out for a colonoscopy. I eat a *lot* of fiber.
My GP said flaxseed, ground. Got a mini grinder and flaxseed (don't get the red kind--doesn't work as well). Grind to a powder and use 2-3TB or more per day--it is the only thing that keeps me regular.

Try miralax, its a powder that you put in your am coffee or juice, its tasteless, and it is very effective, skip it when you get to loose. I only use it on an as needed basis,
Good luck,

Try Cod Liver Oil Pills or try Yogurt, or Kefir it's like yogurt but you drink it, it is a probiotic [same w/yogurt] and taken daily should do the trick, my fav is Blueberry
there is nothing wrong w/taking softner pills, if it works, it works, no one needs to know what you are doing imagine if there was nothing to help this problem. then you are talking an enema :( and who wants to go there :)
