Suffering from constipation.....

kimmcneely · February 16, 2006

Before I had my band but even more so afterward I had suffered terribly with Constipation. I may not go for a week or longer at a time. I had tried exlax and correctol and all the other laxatives that say they provide "gentle" relief, but I would wake up with the worst cramping I had ever felt in my life and would have diarrhea for the next couple of hours. I guess I did get the result I was looking for huh?

Well, now I have found a product made from a company called Arbonne that is a herbal colon cleanser. It is incredible. One pill before bedtime and I am as regular as a clock. No cramping. No diarrhea. Just normal bathroom trips.

If anyone has any questions or are interested, please contact me. Thanks!

Can you get it over the counter or does it have to be prescribed by a doctor? I was suffering from Constipation for about a week and a half after my surgery but now I'm going, who knows if it will last. Thank you!

Hi Kim -

Is it safe to use long term? Some products aren't safe for long term use because the body becomes dependent on them. I think that applies more to the chemical products than the Fiber ones...

I am assuming you've tried prune juice and all that as well?

Looks like you're selling this product. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

No, you do not need a prescription to get this product but you can't get it over the counter either. It has to be ordered through Arbonne. It is a safe product, natural. And yes, I a consultant for Arbonne as a part time job, but if you are interested you don't have to order throught me, you can go to their website. I just offered me if you had any questions. Thanks,

1 Cup of Fiber One Cereal per day - tastes great, works great.

Yes, but what about those people that are stll on the liquid phase on their diet?

My doc recommended Milk of Magnesia.. took a dose when I went to bed, and the next day I was able to go without being gassy or straining.

Yea that's what I took and it didn'twork so well...I now I'm going regular. So I don't think I have to worry about that now, thank god!

That's great. I hopwever never was regular before surgery. I was either stopped up or running over if you know what I mean. Now though I go once a day everyday and I am very thankful. I never like the fiber cereals so I never ate much of them. Good luck to all.
