Chronic Constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if anyone has had any success with curing chronic

constipation.

 

I am on a wheat/gluten/milk/egg free diet. This does mean more

fruits and veg and I also have been drinking psyllium husks in

juice - so I don't think lack of fiber is the issue.

 

Things are a bit better but still not great.

 

I have just starting taking Cascara/Buckthorn capsule 3x per day in

hopes that this helps. I understand that I can take this for

several months and then come off to see if it has worked. Then go

back on them if necessary.

 

Also on some of the posts here I have seen reference to potassium

and magnesium. I think I will try that too next time I order

supplements.

 

I'm a bit at my wits end - nothing seems to help permanently.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Sharon
