Does anyone have chronic constipation?
Digestive Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (264)Comment receiving replies
I asked because I regularly eat a lot of peanut butter and usually have it with fruits like apples,banana's oatmeal,wheat bread etc.But even before I started having chronic constipation i still ate peanut butter like I normally do and never had any digestive issues.So maybe it's not a direct cause ,i'm currently foregoing peanut butter like you suggeste so i'll see how it goes.

Good luck! I mention this from time to time and may have already said it here: If it is not the peanut butter (and remember, if it is the peanut butter, it may be just too much of a good thing and you can still eat it in smaller quantities) try eating a kiwi after dinner and before bed. I can't believe it works (better than any OTC I have tried). There is something in it that makes the gut's elimination muscles perk up and work. There was a study done - stubborn constipation --most of the patients experienced some level of relief. I can't believe how well it works for me. I didn't use the psyillium fiber (I cannot tolerate it).

I use just one kiwi and a green one.
