Too much calcium intake causes constipation.

Most people supplement with calcium when they really don't need to.

I suffered from chronic constipation from the age of 17 to 48. My daughter

was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and tho my tests came out negative I went

on a gluten free diet anyway. In three days I had normal BMs and no more

constant stomach ache!!! In one month I was able to reduce my thyroid meds.

good advice

however can you tell me if say you had only small amounts of

calcium from about age 7 to 16 as (i have and i'm 22 now) would you

recommend a calcium supplement in that instance? i'm a bit worried

seeing as one's bones stop growing by age 25

thanks

At your age, you should continue taking your calcium since your bones are still

growing.

Make sure you also get enough magnesium.

The constipation becomes a problem for women when they reach menopause.

I wanted to come back to this and to say thank you to all who gave

advice, especially those who indicated that hormones might be an issue

here.

 

I ended up having a female hormone test related to depression (I've

been managing my depression well, but noticed that I would have a mood

drop about mid-cycle).

 

The test did show that at mid-cycle my estrogen level fell quite low

and stayed that way for about two weeks until the beginning of the

next cycle.

 

So for the past few months I have been to see a registered medical

herbalist who also happens to be an acupuncturist to bring things back

into balance. And I seem to be having good results, although the

changes are slow and subtle.

 

Thanks

If you eat too much roughage or fiber, it can do that to you.

I have had constipation issues since childhood. Now it is even worse in my mid

40s. None of the common remedies such as raisins, prunes, spinach, oats work for

me. I have a feeling that this is affecting my overall health particularly

swelling in finger joints, hair loss and knees. I would appreciate any help.

 

Also, do you have suggestions for a doctor in the Chennai area.

Thank you very much in advance,

I had a similar problem. When nothing worked, Aloe Vera juice plus Amla taken

late at night. Or even when one gets up after an hour or two of sleep, it can be

taken then. It is most effective and clears my bowels the moment I get up and

take the morning cup of tea. Please try what works for you; but work it must. If

you have any further problem, please feel free to let me know. Wishing you quick

solution to your problem;

Triphala and or/probiotics would be a good start!
