Slow gi motility with severe constipation
Digestive Health | Last Active: Jan 19 1:17pm | Replies (67)Comment receiving replies
My cat had constipation recently and the Veterinarian said to give it canned pumpkin. It worked great. My Physical Therapist said her Veterinarian recommended it for her dog's diarrhea. If this works with pet's G.I. problems I am wondering what pumpkin's effects are on humans - Does anybody happen to know?

Pumpkin and butternut squash have a fiber that retains moisture throughout your bowel, unlike other fiber sources such as Psyllium. I eat them every day and get a lot of help from them. I have cold cooked butternut squash with yogurt of applesauce with sesame tahini. You could also make a thick smoothie with it. I like them fresh, but out of season you can get them in a can.
