Amaranth for Redundant Colon and Chronic Constipation

Thank you!!!!!

Inulin, from Holland and Barret is miraculous.
It’s almost pure fibre , a dessert spoonful daily on cereal or any meal actually works wonders…
Along with a daily sachet of CosmoCol ….👌
Hope it helps , it’s taken me 60 years to find this solution…
Best,

Sorry..typing stinks.

Yes, please. Need help.

I have tied the Inulin. Worked well for constipation but caused me to have lots of uncontrollable gas. I only tried less than 1/4 teaspoon. YIKES! Potent stuff!

Has anyone tried castor oil? Not taken internally but half capful in naval? I have seen where this has worked for many people and thought of trying it. Anyone have any experience with this?

Good morning all,
Great to hear natural regularity solutions! I've shared my success in the past but want to share a list of drinks I just saw, some of which I have used. Back up plan or variation make sense. I look forward to testing more amaranth in my diet also. Exercise, hydration, walking, meditation/mindfulness aid regularity too

Here's the list:
- chia seeds, flax seeds - soaked overnight, ground insoluble fiber (I like soaked in prune juice or plain yogurt
- orange juice - be aware of high sugar content
- ginger tea - anti-inflammatory, relaxing, helps circulation can irritate some people
- coconut water - has electrolytes to help balance body fluid, OK on empty stomach
- coffee - may help gut but don't drink on empty stomach
- pear juice - natural sorbitol attracts water so aids in regularity, can be sensitive to sorbitol
- apple cider vinegar - moderation
- prune juice - basic
- fennel tea, if allergic to carrot and celery family could be an issue
- warm water with lemon - best with straw to avoid hurting teeth

Best of luck to all, it is so nice to have regularity for about a year now, after so many challenging years

With my extremely sensitive gut, I eat easy-to-digest foods, stay hydrated, use a magnesium supp at night (I use Gentle Bowel Support by Hilma), use slippery elm powder - inner bark with every meal, which is key (I use Frontier's brand); the powder can be incorporated into food or added to a hot liquid or cold smoothie - the powder adds slip which moves the stool; I think it also protects and soothes the colon. There are capsules available, but that dose is too large for me. My gut does not tolerate OTC fiber/prescription laxative products.
