I have seen several posts that have people looking for a natural and safe cure for constipation...

I have suffered with this my whole life. Yesterday I started replacing the milk in my morning coffee with coconut milk. It is yummy, although a little on the high side in the caloric department ( the can I have is 140 calories per 1/4 cup ) I spread the 1/4 cup over 3 cups of coffee. Has worked within a couple of hours both mornings.

Just thought I would share. It is an inexpensive and safe fix so far.

    another great trick for "tummy troubles" is to drink a 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice every day. it doesnt taste terrible and it really cleans out your insides. and its SUPER LOW on calories! :happy:

    Slippery elm is an amazing remedy for all tummy probs, as well as sore throat, and a plethora of other health issues. It's also a great first food for baby! Cancer patients can survive and thrive on it for months.

    Check it out!

    Black coffee itself is enough to uh...clean out my tummy daily if you catch my drift.

    Oatmeal and black coffee for breakfast. By the second day, you won't have a problem.

    I second the Aloe Vera juice as well. You know you can make your own with your potted aloe plant?

    My experience with Slippery Elm was a bit harsh. Maybe just a bad reaction?

    I've never heard of anyone having any trouble with Slippery Elm! It's extremely mild! There's always the exception!

    I've had problems back and forth with "tummy issues" I have mild IBS and I feel bad for whoever has full blown IBS. Things change month to month it seems. The one thing I found to really help is oatmeal as someone already stated and I drink warm tea in the evening. I know it sounds weird but it kinda jsut helps things "settle" by morning. Then I drink citrucel too, it helps when I'm having problems. Hope some of this helps people out there with up and down stomach problems. I'm only 22 and I've had plenty of experience in that department, sadly. :laugh:

    You might try the Slippery Elm. However, I've done alot of research on Multiple Sclerosis, because my oldest daughter was diagnosed with it last year and has been medically discharged from the Army. IBS crosses paths with my MS research because it seems to be caused by food allergies. An ELISA test can help you find what foods might be reacting with your body and then you can eliminate them. We are awaiting the results of the test for my daughter, however, we have eliminated all dairy, gluten, and legumes from her diet over the past year, with amazing results! It's not as hard as it sounds, but definitely requires work and planning.

    All the best to you!
