HOW TO NOT GET CONSTIPATION ANYMORE?

It has gotten to the stage where i'm SCARED to defecate. I have it a lot and end up on the toilet more than I have to. Last time I s-l-o-w-l-y took a huge poop and it felt like it sucked out my innards. It hurt so much... ;-;

My average day consists of drinking lots of milk, whatever my mom makes, frozen pre-made burritos, ramen noodles, chips, a couple yogurts, and chocolate chip cookies. Do I have to change what I eat inorder to succeed?

    Chronic constipation can be hard to stop or eliminate, since the colon has become weak. In most cases it will have to be retrained on how to have a bowel movement.

    For those of you that have constipation, here is a morning smoothie that will help activate your colon. This smoothie is packed with nutrients that your body will use to regenerate your colon and body.

    I have been making this smoothie for a few years. I make enough to drink right away and to put into my thermos to drink around 10am.

    When I make this drink I just start putting things in the blender without measuring. You can do the same and make adjustments as you go.

    * one peeled banana

    * 4-5 strawberries or other type of berries, or fruits

    * one tablespoon of lecithin granules

    * one - two teaspoons of flax seed oil

    * half and half almond milk and apple juice

    In a coffee grinder, grind up around a teaspoon or less of the following:

    * brown sesame seeds - are high in lecithin, vitamin C, E, and Calcium. They improve liver function and help in constipation

    * sunflower seeds - are high protein, Calcium, and iron. They are one of the best natural foods which feeds the entire body.

    * flax seeds - are high in fiber and provide bulk for your stools.

    * almonds - use around 6-7 or more. They are high in Calcium, Phosphorus and have some B-vitamins. Only eat a few. They are high in calories.

    After grinding the seeds, place them in the blender and blender everything for about 3-4 minutes. If you need a little sweetness, you can add a small amount of honey. I find this drink plenty sweet without any honey.

    Sometimes I will add the powder of a few acidophilus capsules.

    If I don't add the almonds, I just put all the tiny seed into the blender without grinding them up. The blender will break them up.

    This is a powerful smoothie to give you morning power and to activate your colon to get moving.

    I used to have this problem and Metamucil helped me a lot. Try taking the Metamucil cookies, I took and still take apple crisp- they taste good and are only 100 cals for two. Take 2-3 packages a day. Try to avoid using laxatives because you don't want your body becoming used to them and it could actually make your situation worse.

    The next step is to alter your diet. Eating a lot of foods with white flour (white bread, pasta, fries, pizza, etc) and processed foods can make you constipated. Eat whole grains and multi grains and add a lot of fruits, vegetables and beans to your diet.

    The last thing to do is to make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water.

    Metamucil worked miracles for me.

    Take laxatives, I prefer the liquid sodium nitrate stuff. You will have to make lots of trips to the toilet, try not to fall asleep if taken at night.
