Steel cut oats with cut up fresh apple with skin, along with pecans or walnut pieces works for me.
I use some kind of milk or almond milk, but not much.

Is it addictive?

Apples, avocados & lots of water work for me. Most of the time…
Oh - & prunes if you like them.

I had a polyp located toward the right of my navel. It was taken out in three pieces, which is considered large. I believe that prevented me from going to the bathroom. Have you had a colonoscopy lately?

REPLY

Two years ago. They did remove a couple of polyps at the time

A bottle of Magnesium citrate will do the trick. An "Old Nurse" remedy called a Black and White is a mixture of MOM with cascara....that will certainly do the trick. And of course remember to drink your allotment of water if not on a fluid restriction. It is so individualized that you just have to try several approaches and use the one that works best for you.
