I do have ibs and that is what contributes, but man alive I am in pain lately when I do go. Can you help. I guess should just use a stool softener but need a suggestion.
If I should just eat salad and corn all day just tell me. I hate both but am willing now at this point. But oh i love to eat.

Hi Donna
Here is an action plan and learn to like salad. There are tons of ideas to use to make it taste fantastic without any manmade chemicals.
Causes
IBS can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, imbalanced levels of hydrochloric acid, impaired immunity, infections, lack of exercise, pharmaceutical drugs, and stress.
Quick Action Plan for IBS
1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.
2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.
3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.
Cleansing (especially colon) and Detoxification therapy such as short fasts, elimination diets, and colonics.
4. Enteric-coated peppermint oil and aloe vera juice.
5. Soothing baths two to five nights a week, as well as alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the abdomen.
6. Use Probiotics and soil-based organisms.
7. Therapeutic juices include wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice.
8. Stress reduction techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and meditation.
9. If you are a smoker, stop and refrain from taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.
10. Examine the possibility of withheld emotions as the cause of your symptoms and get support through emotional and physical expression, especially movement therapies such as NIA, Qi gong, Yoga or Total Integration Therapy to name a few options.
Best of health to you

There are a lot of natural fibers on the market - Pysillum Husk is the main ingredient (in Metamucil, etc.) or you can buy this is a health food store. It's a bulky fiber you can add to drinks. Try Benefiber (it's non-thickening and has no flavor) - can find this at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. Detox teas may help to as they rid your body of unnecessary toxins.

prunes and prune juice. Also, drink lots of water to help loosen the stools. Exercise can sometimes get things going too. Foods high in fiber add bulk to your stools, moving them along.

Milk of magnesia. Take it before you go to bed. It does not cause cramps or gas like prunes or laxatives. You'll need to experiment with what dose works for you.
Hope you feel better.
