It's common, Mirilax or Chia seeds every day will help.

one other thing.. there's this alkalizing Water called Kangen water.. it will help you poop. i haven't seen it mentioned on here before, but i can tell you right now that it works. it alkalizes your body, which make it harder for bad stuff (like cancer) to grow in it.

"Kangen Water is simply an easier way of stating: Alkaline, ionized, electron rich, restructured, micro clustered, active hydrogen saturated, oxidation reduced, powerful water."

http://www.thewatertruth.com/go/ << there's some info on it.

you can find places in your area that sell kangen water & it's very inexpensive. the machines that produce it are VERY expensive, but my family pays around $10/mo for unlimited gallons of kangen water.. as much as you could drink. :) you can cook with it, bathe with it, etc.

drinking it does make you go poop, though.. so anyone having problems with that, i would highly suggest seeking out somewhere that sells kangen water & buying some. the taste is different than regular tap or bottled water.. you can use it to make coffee, tea, or with crystal light or whatever. :) it'll get your bowels to move for sure lol

I got aome chia seeds, how do you use them? In hot food only?

you put them in liquid of your choice & leave them set for a while.. then drink them down.. they're slimy & grassy tasting, but i actually like them.. lol the slime is gelatinous.. like Jello.. with little tiny seeds- like poppy seeds in the middle... you can put it in a blender to help with the texture.

it's not that bad, honestly.. but my tolerance for weirdness may be higher than yours. won't know til you try it. lol

Thanks to Rootman, I have purchased and started using chia seeds in several different ways. I researched on the internet, looked up some recipes and took the plunge. Fantastic. I am not so bound up and everything has softened up. Also, I do believe my appetite is diminished. Thanks for your testimonial, Root. KI

I have started drinking what my son refers to as my poop potion. It is citracel with Miralax. I have not been constipated since mixing the two together.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
