What is the best product to take for regularity?

Question

I'm not trying to be gross, so please no rude comments, but I have problems with my bowels, I probably only have a bm maybe twice a week. I don't like taking laxatives because I don't want my body to start relying on them. What natural alternatives work the best? How long before I notice a difference?

Answer 1

long-grain brown rice works best. perhaps if you are really serious you should switch to making that your primary or even exclusive source of carbohydrates. avoid potatoes, pasta, bread, cereal, crackers, and other grains, supplement them with long grain brown rice, and don't eat cheese or other dairy products since they bung you up. good luck and enjoy your new regularity. It should take less than 24 hours.

Answer 2

As your question has bowel regularity it suggest that problem is chronic So you need a diet change which should help to ease symptoms over the period of time 1) Eat raw fruits and vegetables 2) Each food rich in fiber 3) At least have 4 serving of raw fruits everyday 4) Most importantly chew your food well till it mixes with Saliva properly this promotes digestion. Figs and Black raisin are effective at this try it.

Answer 4

Go for organics and eat less oil (deep fried stuff), whole grain bread, less carbohydrate, more vegetables and fruits, low fat milk, no snacks, low sugar intake, steam and grill, consume meat 3-4 times a week, eat more fish than meat (beef,pork,lamb), exercise by walking 30 minutes a week, and do just regular exercise, don't starve yourself because if you don't eat, your body will absorb a lot more when you start eating again..
bm problems try to eat more papayas (my mom always said it makes us easier to bm),eat fruits, but not bananas..
i don't know how long does it take coz human body works differently for each individuals in absorbing stuff..
hope it helps

Answer 5

In people without medical problems, the main intervention is the increase of fluids (preferably water) and dietary fiber. The latter may be achieved by consuming more vegetables and fruit, whole meal bread and by adding linseeds to one's diet. The routine non-medical use of laxatives is to be discouraged as this may result in bowel action becoming dependent upon their use. Enemas can be used to provide a form of mechanical stimulation.

Laxatives may be necessary in people in whom dietary intervention is not effective or inappropriate. Stimulant laxatives (e.g. senna) are generally avoided, as they may worsen crampy sensations commonly experienced in constipation. In various conditions (such as the use of codeine or morphine), combinations of hydrating (e.g. lactulose or glycols), bulk-forming (e.g. psyllium) and stimulant agents may be necessary. Many of the products are widely available over-the-counter.

Enemas and clysters are a remedy occasionally used for hospitalized patients in whom the constipation has proven to be severe, dangerous in other ways, or resistant to laxatives. Sorbitol, glycerin and arachis oil suppositories can be used. Severe cases may require phosphate solutions introduced as enemas.

Constipation that resists all the above measures requires physical intervention. Manual disimpaction (the physical removal of impacted stool) is done under sedation or a general anesthetic—this avoids pain and loosens the anal sphincter.

In alternative and traditional medicine, colonic irrigation, enemas, exercise, diet and herbs are used to treat constipation.

Constipation is usually easier to prevent than to treat. The relief of constipation with osmotic agents, i.e. lactulose, Polyeythleneglycol(PEG), or magnesium salts, should immediately be followed with prevention using increased fiber(fruits and vegetables) and a nightly decreasing dose of osmotic laxative. With continuing narcotic use, for instance, nightly doses of osmotic agents can be given indefinitely (without harm) to cause a daily bowel movement.
