I've suffered from chronic constipation all my adult life. At least I did until I discovered resistant starch. I take two table spoons of potato starch mixed in water in the morning and two in the evening. I've been doing that for four months now and as a result I completely empty my bowels in a normal fashion at least once day.

[@glenw-xm5zf]

Seriously? Starch is a coagulant.. at least for cooking

[@gerrabath]

@@glenw-xm5zf Absolutely! Raw Potato starch is a resistant starch and is not the same as other food starches. It is indigestible by nature, but is an excellent prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in the large intestine. It’s also a laxative that has good fluid retention and provides bulk. There’s loads of info on RS on Google.

[@gerrabath]

@@glenw-xm5zf Also I’ll add that if you were to try it, start off with small doses, say a couple of teaspoons a day and work up to the amount that suits your needs as you’ll be farting like a trooper! I only take so much because I a have a redundant colon as a result of many years of constipation.

[@glenw-xm5zf]

Metformin tablets was the reason why I had constipation in the first place I ended up changing jobs (less wages) from office to part time office 3 days and 2 days warehouse walking work. A big increase in my walking excercise. That's exactly what I had been doing. Eating Branflakes every morning. I was also taking a lot of senakot tablets. Increased my vegetable intake. With the excercise in my life. My sugar levels dropped dramatically and medication was reduced. And then finally no more medication. And suddenly those hard work in the toilet was gone. Ramadhan fasting taught me how to discipline and control what went in my mouth and hence the body If you are on certain medication, then this video advice will not work for you. You need to change your lifestyle to get off those medications that are giving you the problems in the first place.

[@georgschmidt5281]

I would like your opinion on epsom salts? I was giving it as a boy back in the 40s and it would work in 30 mins to an hour or 2. Let me tell you it did work. I believe they gave me a teaspoon full or 2 in a glass of water. Once you took it you did not want to be far from the stool.

[@emilyc2813]

C’mon doc, Sounds like your giving the laxatives a bad name, but if we have to use them every now and then, then they are lifesavers. Actually I use Pericolace and it is not to pop pills but just to get the colon to start to move and by the way I have never started cramping after one hour. If you did doc then you must not have needed them. Let’s talk serious doc, the last time I took laxatives I took it for two days straight, still had a problem and had to see a doctor. Little did I know one of my recent medicines was taking a toll on my bowel. Don’t hate the lax.

This doctor is full of bologna. First of all, your body DOES know the difference between true, natural fiber from natural foods vs artificial fiber. Our bodies are not meant to consume artificial stuff. It goes beyond to the chemistry behind it all. There is a big difference on how our bodies are regulated and function between real and artificial fiber.

[@emi1557]

What fibers are artificial? If you say they're the ones not contained in food I will laugh at you because when you compare "hemicellulose from food" to "hemicellulose from supplement", both are hemicellulose.
