I started taking iron (anemic from a recent surgry)
@ Iron pills is like adding lead to your intestines!
I take over the counter fiber pills with each meal and a couple times a week I need Miralax.0 -
Brand: Traditional Medicinal's Smooth Move Tea. Natural ingredietns, Organic and only costs about 5 bucks for a box of 16 tea bags. Drink 1 before bed to help. It's what I use 1x a week or as needed (and yes I drink plenty of water daily 16 8oz glasses and I'm vegetarian so I get plenty of fiber).0

I am so glad that you posted this. I have this problem whenever I eat healthy. I eat lots of fruit and veggies, drink 8 to 12 cups of water, exercise every day and still need help. If I were to overeat then all would be well. I am taking the powder stuff at this time.
Right on. Same issue. My fat & fiber are fine and I overdo the water, still no help. I think a lot of it has to do w/stress, which has been a constant for me since, well, birth, ha. Thanks for being honest.0 -
I am really big supporter of probiotics! It has done wonders for me (and doesn't make you near as gassy)!
Lots of great suggestions, but I agree with this!0 -
Ever see those "miracle noodles" that are popular with Skinny Girl? In Japan they are called intestinal brooms.0

I haven't tried it, but have heard this from MANY sources over the past 20 someodd years -
fresh lemon juice in hot water in the morning. it's a natural diuretic.0 -
I actually eat those miracle noodles they are AWESOME!! you can do so much with them. They are filling. you can have a huge bowl, and they add NOTHING to your calorie, fat or sodium intake. Slap a few shrimp in them and cook them in a tablespoon of butter. BAM Lunch for 120 cal. Best thing ever!0

A juice of two apples. Just take the middle out and use a juice maker with the rest of the apple. It will works in couple of ours.0

Apples have good fiber and I agree consuming a lot of water is good. I've done Medamucil but it's gross so I try to stay away.0

Drink aloe vera gel it works wonders to cleanse the digestive system and regulate your bowel movements.
