Constipation: What helps?

Posted by R @roosan, Feb 15, 2024

For the past 10 years, I have had severe constipation problems. I tried many medicines, and I have gone through 3 times endoscopy but discovered nothing. From 2015 till now my constipation problem couldn't be solved. To make it worse now I'm having multiple internal haemorrhoids due to this constipation. I don't know why I'm having this constipation problem.
Many people suggested many things like changing diets, taking a lot of fibre intake, reducing stress, quit smoking. I burp a lot and do have acid reflux as well but now it is getting better. What is the best solution for my constipation?

I'm sorry to hear that because I have been using aloe vera gel for many months.
I had all the symtoms of colon cancer, and said I wanted a colonosphy. I didnt have cancer, but all the symtoms were still there including constipation. Since the Mayo Clinic suggested aloe vera I starting using the gel. It took a week or two, but has worked just great ever since, but it didn't improve over night.
The only other thing I could suggest is a retraining of the bowels discribed in a book "Better Health througjh Natural Healing.". I tried that & it worked for quite a period of time, but would have had to do it all over again, but have found the aloe vera gel to work for me consistly. I will type out the procedure in the the book if you can't locate the book and are interested.

My health condition is short gut syndrome so the medication for my diarrhea causes constipation so coconut water with a little fruit juice helps me with the constipation. I also have a history of electrolytes imbalance because of diarrhea and constipation.

I had constipation and my doctor said I was dehydrated. She recommended electrolytes daily plus 8 glasses of water daily - I've been taking Electro-pH complex from Apex Energetics - 1 scoop daily plus Adding fiber to your diet is a very good suggestion - if you like smoothies, add 2-4 TB chia seeds; google fruits and vegetables high in fiber and you'll find helpful lists too.
