Hello! I am writing here because there are probably others like me to share their experience. I have had chronic constipation since I was a child. My mother was wondering how to fix me, what she hadn't tried - hot water on an empty stomach, pears, soaked plums, pink jam with warm water. In the end, only an enema fixed me, because I reached 10 days without defecation! Over the years, I managed to turn left, but in general it was a miracle for more than 3 consecutive days to go in great need. I went through everything - probiotics, dufalak, candles, herbs, soaked plums, psyllium, active, hay ... I removed from the diet everything that was burning, white bread, dry food, sweets, meat, etc. I even changed the toilet plate with squat. I walked 2 km. on foot per day. I poured myself water. But there was no effect ... Only someone who has been through this knows what hell it is like to have a constant heavy stomach, to feel poisoned, to have gas from rotting waste in the gut for days ... We recently moved to live in a house that has a large mulberry tree in the yard. In the morning I have mulberry breakfast. And a miracle happened - for the first time in my life I go to the toilet every morning with ease. A whole month already! It has never been like that in my life, I was born straight, it was so easy and nice to always have an empty stomach that I don't want it to end !!! But the mulberries will soon be despised ... :-(

Hi, have you tried flaxseed? So far there is no person who has no result after a few days of eating in the morning on an empty stomach :)
The blueberries correctly told you that the key is in the way of life. You say you've tried everything, but do you do it all the time or to deal with constipation? Ie fiber (whole grain bread, fruits and vegetables), fluids and exercise as part of your daily routine? F 29
Well, start greeting her from there every time you see her. You do not greet her, but expect the same from her, that you hope for more. In the mountains it is like that - people greet each other when passing, and here in France strangers greet each other on the streets. F 31
Are you trying a separate diet?
I have noticed that from eating bread and pasta (especially with type flour) I go more when I need to. It also depends on how much you eat. If you overeat, more food will not be digested and you will defecate more often. Also, how well you digest a certain type of food, if it is not well absorbed by your body, will be thrown away more often. For me, eating sweets, in which they are prepared with oil or butter, even has a laxative effect. Another thing that affects is energy consumption. If you are busy, like a rookie in a barracks, you will go once a week, because everything you eat is almost completely absorbed. In my opinion, with a sensible diet, an average bowel movement of about 2 days is best. Excluding possible health reasons, more frequent bowel movements mean overeating and poor digestion, and less often malnutrition or physical or emotional overload.
H 2 is right, but I will add to what she said, as well as my personal suffering in the past. Tell me how old you are so that I can have in mind (more or less) your general health. I was about 34 years old when, like you, I didn't go in great need for a whole week. I understand what torment you went through. I shared the problem with a colleague then, but he complained about the same problem, even worse than me. Then I stumbled upon magazines with articles about all kinds of health problems, including constipation. And remembering what my main food was, well, exactly a recipe for constipation. I ate mostly creams, white flour cakes, yogurt, meat and all foods that had almost no fiber. Realizing my mistake, I made a 180 degree rotation. I started eating only raw fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and a wide variety of nuts - in other words, only foods that are high in fiber. And only after a few days my constipation disappeared. From then until now, although I'm much older, I don't know what constipation is. I even go to the toilet twice a day on some days. All foods high in FIBER such as cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrots, all kinds of lettuce, beans, lentils, etc. It is very important to eat all fruits and vegetables raw, because raw fruits and vegetables have live vitamins and most already enzymes that do a great job of digestion and good absorption of nutrients. Compromises with food should not be made. Our health depends on the right raw, natural and ecological food. I feel that you are a reasonable person and you will make a complete change in your diet and you will see that your problem will disappear forever, as it happened to me. Don't forget, more raw food with a lot of FIBER. When the mulberry fruit is finished, a week or two later write again how you feel without mulberry fruit.
