Chronic constipation alternatives

@heyjoe415, @pwgrimes, and all...just a butt-in comment here...I had daily diarrhea for decades and now have constipation...IBD. Last year, in passing I mentioned this to a Mayo doctor who oversees outside-the-box care...acupuncture, massage, mindfulness, and such wonderful treatments. Never having dealt with constipation, I was lost as to what was best for me with my multiple issues.

He recommended a Probiotic Colon Support called Progulin, which I buy online from Research Verified. After taking this miracle supplement for 1 day, the diarrhea I was experiencing after taking antibiotics improved. I took a Lomotil and by the 2nd day with the supplement, it was gone.

Then, when constipation hit, I increased the supplement to 2 daily and added a 2nd colon support supplement. No longer do I struggle like most of you surely do as well. Now, without taking Miralax which the doctors suggested if this doesn't work, I'm regularly only slightly constipated and usually much improved, with neither extreme experience. More consistent, better in all ways. My weight is stable, I drink water throughout the day, and am feeling better.

When I take antibiotics, I take an extra supplement daily and if needed a Lomotil to ward off diarrhea, which I always have with antibiotics, or soon after taking them. By using this routine, approved by the doctor, I'm able to complete the antibiotic course with few issues.

The balancing of the 'biome' in my gut has improved my life tremendously. I highly recommend it if you haven't researched this area, it may be helpful. And, not all probiotics are the same! This particular one works for me. Previous brands I took, didn't. The doctor said they found the same results so he suggested it to me. I'm so thankful!

Be blessed and be well! elizabeth

Do you mean Probulin?
