@cheyne I’m not sure if this will help you but it’s worth a try. Along with my severe neuropathy I had trouble with constipation for years and used the Senicot everyday to help with this. One day I was on UTube and saw the Nerve Doctor talking about these seeds, black sesame seeds, hulled hemp seeds and organic chia seeds. I ordered them off Amazon from Yupik and when I got them I immediately mixed a container of these all together and kept them all in the fridge. Within a few days of using these I had a regular bowel movement and needed no more Senicot. These bags last a while but I keep them refrigerated. I mix about two heaping tablespoons with my cereal in the morning. For, me this has done wonders for my bowels and I only wish I knew about this years ago. There is a product on the store shelves called Holy Crap and I tried this first but it is just so expensive so I have been getting the seeds off Amazon and putting my own together. If this helps anyone I will be so happy I shared this with you.
