Constipation Coming And Going | Ibs Posted: 12-31-06 11:28am
Hi.
I suffer from ibs, but it's not too
serious. I follow some indication my
doctors and some people gave to me.
Some time ago, like a month ago, and since
september, I was suffering from
constipation. I was taking laevolac
(which is a lax and a syrup to get back my
regularity and put my intestines to work
properly again). But I didn't problems
since mid-november or the end of it.
The stress here lies in the fact that tihs
week I was getting back to those days when
I was constipated. To prevent it from
getting worse and because today i'll sure
eat some stuff I really shouldn't (),
I took laevolac again. I've already gone
to the loo, but i'm afraid of having these
problems again and having to take the
syrup again - I don't want to be addicted
to it.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks everyone, have a happy new year.
P.S. - I also have hemmroids. Nice,
nice, nice :s

Hi voodoo,
i'm pretty much a regular on this
site............Ie there's nothing in it
for me.............No
solicitation...........No
marketing.........
To get to the point.................This
has been my boys prob for many years and
after many hits and
misses....................The best i've
found is
oxy-powder.....................You'll have
to look up on their website as I haven't
found a local
distributor.......................In
combination with the herb
senna.............................Follow
the directions of the oxy powder than a
maintainence
dose.......................That works for
my boy anyway.......................2 oxy
and 2 senna each and every
night................He after many years
of searching, is regular with these

I searched for it, but none is available
here... But aren't there any other
'tricks' like avoiding some more foods and
so on? Of course i'm kinda careful, but
there must be something else.
Thanks!

I get the oxy through my doctor in the
states................But they have their
own website oxypowder dot com I believe.
Read the testimonials and decide for
yourself. With the gastrointestinal
system its very difficult to know which
organ is not pulling its
weight..........Stomach, intestinines,
liver, gallbladder.................They
all work together................Yeah,
your right voodoo...........Check out the
common most allergic
foods.................It may not be a
total cure but will bring some
relief..........................For my boy
milk and milk products are severe ie they
are avoided for life...............A more
moderate one is beef and believe it or not
bananas and ginger a another common one is
gluten.........Found in most
things..........................If this is
the case it will be a total nutritional
turn around for
you.........................If your
serious find a good food allergy
test.....................Some test 90 or
more of the most common food
allergies..............But in the meantime
you can do your own
experiment..........................Totall
y remove................I mean
totally..................................A
ll of the food you suspect...........If
your addicted to this food, you will feel
symptoms similar to drug
withdrawal........Whether milk products or
gluten(the most obvious
ones).........................For at least
a week or
two.......................Reintroduce and
see if your symptoms come back.......

ok, thanks, I still hadn't thought about
the allegies tests, but it seems to be a
good idea.
I'm always affraid of getting
constipated, sepcially when I don't go to
the loo one of the days! :s

I took laevolac again. I've already gone
