What's the recipe for that? Just strawberry s and spinach or is there other ingredients? And how much did you drink?0 -
You need to increase ur water intake. When you eat a lot of fiber you need to do it on a gradual step increase . It's very important to drink the water and add in some olive oil. I have the same problem from the Meds I take. My doc has me on miralax. I used to work for weight watchers and this is the number one question ...water is the key. Hope this helps you...0

i used fresh strawberry, vanilla yogurt and spinach (and some ice to make it frozen) if its too thick add orange/apple juice. I drank about 16oz0 -
You can have one of mine...lol. I've got plenty to go around since I started eating healthy. And just remember that IBS can go the other way which is also not that fun. It's almost like having a tapeworm.
Lots of natural fibers, kale, greens, quinoa. Ad like others have said, if it continues much lo ger go see your Dr. There's not much worse than having an impacted bowel.
For years, my IBS did go the other way and I thought it was horrible, but I have to admit that after this, I would trade it back any day. Just can't eat and get into a car.......0 -
If I'm not careful I can have a problem too. But, these things help me. Oranges... Orange juice, and the miracle remedy I think is prune juice. Get some prune juice and drink a cup everyday. Also, could you call a doctor, and just let them know this is happening. If you don't go, you may have to have the doc help you. Some medications can cause a problem with this. Just give a call. But try drinking prune juice to start with.0
