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.
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

Hello. I have terrible constipation as well. Does amaranth have stimulant effect or bulk forming?
Thanks
Yes, please let me know all about this. I am struggling with a redundant colon and constant constipation OR diarrhea. Thanks.

Does anyone out there experience both constipation and / or diarrhea routinely w a redundant colon issue? Travel is becoming impossible as I constantly have to plan around the next WC sign!! Suggestions? Is normality a thing of the past? Having difficulty finding a GI in Louisiana that is helpful or effective in any way. That doesn't help, either. Comments, please
Yes, I would like recipes. Bzzyladyinfl416@hotmail.com
Thank you.
I buy a granola with amaranth and other grains in it. Purely Elizabeth Ancient Grain Granola
