Spastic colon ?

Posted by pbnew @pbnew, 1 day ago

Normal movements become very soft and too frequent and can happen without any warning. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Any natural remedies?

pbnew,
Look up Alpha Lipoic Acid, an all natural anti-inflammatory that is good to our bodies. Taking the smaller amounts and working up. I did not know it effected the bowel until this past month. I had purchased a new bottle and bought 350 mg. instead of my lower dose amount. I was getting so constipated that it was becoming problematic, so I was looking at everything going into my mouth to see if it caused constipation. I put in search engine, "Does Alpha Lipoic Acid cause constipation," and I was shocked with the answer because I had been taking the lower dose for years without issue. It's all natural and I can attest to what it did to me.

Thank you. What was the lower dose that helped you? Do you take it for overall health or a specific issue?

I was taking the 100 mg. before I made that mistake in upping the dose. It aids with so many things but I take it for its antioxidant effect as well as liver support. As we age that poor liver has had to filter everything we ate or drank throughout our lives. I like to give back a little support for what I put it through.
