Hi, just wondering if anyone ever responded to your post, as I too am confused about the various forms of Magnesium. If you did get any info that you could pass on, I would be grateful. Thanks!   [End]

Hello. Thanks for responding. Yes, I drink a minimum of 3 but usually 4 litres of water per day (I weigh 120 pounds). Always room temperature, and never with meals (always stop 30 minutes before and wait 30 minutes after meals). I also have been supplementing with flax oil (1 TBSP once-twice daily) plus have homemade salad dressing with at least 1 TBSP olive oil daily, so don’t think healthy fats are a problem. If I do fruits, I try to do them as per the food combining (in am) but occasionally have 1 in the evening (3 hrs after meal) when I crave sweets. I have always had a very s ...

I think I must be a bit more on the stubborn side, as I have been taking digestive enzymes (2 with each meal) for 2 years now. I have not tried that brand however, so will look into it. Thanks for the info!   [End]

Hi Ali Thanks for your message. As I mentioned in another response, I’m hesitant to use Dr. Schulze’s formulas as they contain laxative herbs(at least Formula #1 does). I’m curious, did you use the products for only a short period of time, or have you had to use them long term? My concern is developing dependence on them.   [End]

Hello, yes I’m a firm believer in trying various things, since what works for one person may not always work for the next... hence the posting of my question, to find out what seemed to work for other people experiencing the same problem. I wouldn’t feel comfortable using the heating pad, but could try the hot water bottle. And you never know about the carrots or dried apricots, might work like a charm! Thanks much for the suggestions. Hope you have a great holiday too!   [End]

Thanks for the great suggestions. I do supplement daily with flax oil (1 TBSP twice per day), plus have olive oil in my salad dressing daily as well, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I’ll try the Ayurvedic milk drink before bed, however I am lactose intolerant so will have to do it with rice milk and hope for the same effect. Also, I have read Dr. Jensen’s book, it is an excellent book. I do not have a slant board, but should try to find one. I am somewhat tentative about using Dr. Schulze’s intestinal formula as it contains laxative herbs which over time as we know can cre ...

Greetings to all the constipated people out there. Just wondering if anyone has had success with any products, therapies, etc. for chronic constipation. Its something I’ve personally battled for years. The product which I found that really helped is no longer available, so I’m desperate to find something which will provide relief. My diet is excellent (high fiber, no junk), I exercise regularly, and drink tonnes of water (plus have been taking fiber for years). I believe I may just suffer from a very sluggish colon. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!   [End]
