I'll just throw this in. I was at my PCP today. For the constipation thing... she said to take equal parts of bran, applesauce and prune juice. Yep, weird combo. Yep, I will let you know...hahaha this is so strange to talk about!

Ugh, that sounds gross! I’m sure that works for people without neuropathy, but since I know that nerves that tell my colon to move briskly and normally are “broken”, I’ve focused more on what foods to avoid (bran would form a thick sludge in my colon that would sit there and expand) and find a daily supplement or mild laxative that helps. I don’t want to always have special food combinations on hand. That’s just extra irritation. Since I have about 25 more years of dealing with this (I’m 62) I want something easy and efficient. But try it and report back!
