I was thinking about buying this product. I have read a lot about it on the website, but I was wondering if anyone has ever used it before. I much rather get advice from someone that I know used it instead of just trusting a website which I know could also be a scam. I have struggled with costempation after having a baby and it just seems to be getting worse. I have tried papaya enzimes along with flaxseed and and fiber and it seems to help once in a while but not all the time. Please if anyone has used this product let me know I need some advice. Thank you.

What can I do next?

I've used it and my mom and brother have to. We got great results. My brother actually eliminated parasites! I had done a detox a few months earlier and I don't eat red meat, so I didn't have a huge change. I think you'll get the results you want. My mom is always constipated and it helps her. She does it on and off. Also try "Smooth Move" tea.

I am not familiar with the product that you mention. You might try taking a magnesium supplement before you go to bed. Soloray is a great company and available at most health food stores. Start with a couple of capsules. If no luck, try three. Everyone I have EVER recommend try this has had good results. Best of luck to you!

Have not tried it. But would suggest that you try magnesium ( most of my clients are low in magnesium) and then Probiotics on a regular basis.

Hi A. - I don't have any experience with that product, but what I highly recommend for anyone with constipation problems is Juice Plus. Most everyone I know who uses this product and had GI issues has had relief whether it be IBS, or constipation. It's actually fruits, vegetables and grains in a capsule form. Getting this concentrated amount on a daily basis just makes everything work/flow better. The overall health benefits of getting all this nutrition daily goes far beyond contipation relief. Check out http://www.juiceplus.com/+cc42230 and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Juice Plus is available in gummie form too and can be a nutritional seatbelt for your son. I hope you feel better!

Steps to avoid constipation; drink PLENTY of water. (at 8-16oz servings per day), increase fiber, both in your food choices and supplementally, avoid caffeine, and get 20 minutes or more of exercise every day. If you still are not "regular" with all those changes, see your doctor.

Hi A.,

My sister and some of her band mates used this product a couple of years ago. They loved it. I wanted to go thru a 'cleansing'...not because I have/had any problems but just to cleanse. But I was already pregnant again and you can't do those things when you are pregnant or nursing.
Basically so far, all the feedback I've ever heard has been positive and not a scam.
But I agree that you might want to balance out your stomach flora also - or first, with a probiotic (acidopholis(?)).

On the flip side of all this ...because our bodies do go thru so much because of the birthing process....you might want to get some recommendations to a good Chiropractor. It's not 'automatic' that everything goes back into place after giving birth. And for all you know you could have had some minor unnoticeable issues prior to child bearing. And constipation is now just one symptom.

I've had one for 26 yrs. Without them I could never have even GIVEN birth. Much less function after birth. My kids have been checked regularly since they were hours old.
If my 20 month old can trip on a stair....not poop for 2 days...get adjusted cuz her coccyx shifted from the fall...and then go thru 2 diapers immediately after the correction and get rid of what the body couldn't do when it wasn't aligned...then how much MORE should we woman need a realignment after pushing out a watermelon?
Make no mistake....watermelon...not cantaloupe ...ahhaa my second one was 8lbs 9 oz and no drugs used.
I was SO ready for an adjustment!

Using an herbal cleanse is great. But you may be just fixing the 'symptom' of a bigger issue that needs to be addressed.

We also have an herbalist who takes care of any detoxing and supplementing. He can give the right amounts of all that our bodies need. That coupled with a Chiro. We just don't have any issues.

I've never had any constipation issues. Until one time when I went to a 'bad' Chiropractor. He over adjusted my hips and I couldn't go!!!
I went back to the one who had worked for me for 10 yrs, and just dealt with the drive to get to him. After 10 yrs of bedridden after 2 car accidents...he's the one who fixed my 'insides' and I was able to get pregnant. When doctors told me it would never happen and wanted to do a hysterectomy after the accidents.
Chiro's have more faith in the human body and all it is capable of.

Recommendations from friends and family make a difference...if you decide to seek one out.

Good luck

Dear A.;
From what I have heard, the "clonix's" is very rough way to go!
I am on a whole food supplement called "JUICE+PLUS".
It is not any artificial stimulant, it WILL clean out your
intestins of parasits, and all the horrible gunk stuck in the nooks and crannies of a human intestin.
Juice+Plus is a whole food with 5(at least)fruits, and 5 vegetables. The vegetable ones will give you so much energy,
it would surprise you!!
I buy it from my Neice, who is a Distributer.
That 2 year old (Iknow) keeps you hopping!!
If you are interested, you can reach Janalee @:
____@____.com
Web site: JPSupplements.com

I am very happy whith this product, my skin, my whole body just feels better, I look better...And, everyone tells me so, too!!!
Juice+Plus provides more than the "daily recommended "
amount of fruits and vegetables, which, most grown-ups do not get enough of!
Good Health to You,
C. S.

I have been using Dr. Schulze's Intestinal 1 for 6 years and I have not had a problem since. I try not to run out because if I do the same issue returns ! :) It is Organic ... as far as habit forming goes.. it states that it is not.. but honestly as long as I am regular I do not care !!! I cook dinner often for my friends and sometimes if we fell like we have eaten way too much.. it's never that bad as I only make vegetarian stuff.. we all take what we call a poop smoothie and that is 1 Tablespoon ofYerba Prima Fiber Plus mixed with 3/4 cup apple juice and then in the morning... you're feeling all cleaned out ... but the Intestinal 1 everyday is perfect. Good Luck !!!

I'm more a natural person than anything. I eat oranges, and it seems to do the trick. You can pick them up at Superiors for 7lbs for $1.00. So, I try to eat at least two a day. Also, drink plenty of water. Cut down on your meat intake and exercise. It really does work, at least for me. I too had chronic constipation after having my children.

Hi A.,
Both my husband and I have too used this wonderful product and it's safe and harmless. It is all natural fiber and is nothing like a laxitive! It worked great for both of us and as soon as done breastfeeding my youngest daughter we plan to do it again. We have and still recommend it to our friends and family. I have several cousins and sister-in laws that have used it and they too loved it. One sister struggled with IBS all her life and after using this product was free of those terrible pains/and symptoms. I highly recommend!

I had the same problem all through my pregnancy. My doctor actually told me to take Mylanta for heartburn, but I noticed as a side effect, it really helped with constipation! None of the flax, fiber stuff worked for me, but I still try to eat high fiber cereal each day, just to keep things, ahem, moving...

good luck! i know how painful it can be....

I have not used this product, but have read about it. We don't like to think about parasites being a problem, but they are present. Dr. Hulda Clark, a naturopath has written several books on the issue. She believes that there are a host of "uncurable" conditions that are attributable to the presence of parasites among them MS and fibromyalgia. The testimonials on her site are impressive as are the testimonials on this site. My husband and I use Dr Schulze products. (Natural Botanical Pharmacy in Marina Del Rey) Diet and exercise are very important to your success. Walking is one of the best things you can do to stay regular. Water, lots of vegetables, fruit, minimal meat. I think it is really important to do cleanses on a regular basis. Don't expect alot of support from your MD. It looks to me that Colonix is good product. WIth a money back guarantee, try it!

A.,
I personally would not recomend that product. My mom and I both suffer from chronic constipation, she saw the infomercial and thought we should try it. It made me sicker than a dog so I just went back to using Mettamucille and being patient. My family doctor suggested we try a different serries of colonix that are more natural for your body. Talk to your Doctor about to get an safe and accurate plan. Wish you luck!

My husband and I have both used it and would highly recommend it. We did the cleanse the first time about 4 years ago. I had never really had bowel issues prior to the cleanse, but I was not terribly regular. I would often go a day without a movement, but since then I have been as regular as could be - two movements a day with few exceptions. I never had any crazy stuff come out during the cleanse, but I don't eat food that is likely to carry parasites. I have had two babies since that first cleanse and had no trouble getting back to my typical bowel movements after they were born. We just completed a second cleanse a few weeks ago. It was uneventful, but it is something I would like to do each year (if we could afford it!). If you can afford it, I say go for it - it is good stuff (just be careful about any warnings if you are breastfeeding).

I have never used that product but I get a cleanse mixture from Nature's Sunshine that is called Clean Start that is wonderful. Or you could just get Casacara from them and that would work great.

I do not know about this product, but I do know that for a more natural aproach and without the opposite problem occurring, you can drink a couple of ounces of Alo Vera Juice a day. It is what finally worked for me after years of constipation, it is Organic and can be bought at Trader Joe's for about $8 dollars a gallon. Good luck.

Hi A., I have never used this product, but one i use is called Super Lax. It's only $28.00 for the bottle, and is great. My son's sister got it for me because she said she lost 12 pounds with it, slept better and gained her energy back. (We are both overweight). I didn't lose any weight with it, but I also was only doing it once a day, instead of twice. I never had problems in the bathroom department, thought I was pretty regular going once or twice a day, but after reading the paperwork that goes along with it, I realized we should be expelling waste about an hour after we eat, every time. It was great!! I would highly recommend it.

I would try prune juice and or eating apples and grapes. My daughter has problems in that area but she has learned to eat alot of fruit and salads. The doctor recommends not using over the counter for small children becuase it really isn't safe. A warm bath also helps. Don't let the child go more than 6 days. I used powders that the doctor ok'd over the counter but that can cause the runs. it's tasetless and you can mix it with anything. Call your Doctor office and speak to his nurse.

Maybe you need a probiotic to restore the good bugs in your gut.

Treating the symptoms won't cure your problem. You need to treat the problem. Probiotics work on the gut to make you regular. When you take it it will make you fart so you may want to take it at night.

You can get an organic probiotic on this website,
www.we-us.mychoices.com It is called Nutrilite Intestaflora 7 and costs $53.25 for a 30 day supply.

You can trace the product back to the manufacturer and be assured of the quality and content.

I take it at least once a week after taking it for a month to start. I don't have any problems anymore so it was and is worth it. Every time I have an antibiotic I have to do this.

Good luck, oh ya, it has a money back promise (6 months) if you don't like it.
