HI all. I experience severe constipation and don’t know how to help myself. Does anybody here know something that should help me?? What do you think of flaxseed?? I heard that it can help – is it true??? Thanks.

Flaxseed oil acts as a lubricant in the gastrointestinal tract and even though it is not regarded as a primary therapeutic modality for constipation, its lubricating properties may help facilitate bowel movements. So, taking one tablespoonful of flaxseed oil daily may help to alleviate constipation and also improve overall health.

dont know if this helps u but thinking about sex helps me relieve..sounds wierd but ya some reason im able to take a shit very easily if i think about it.. o_o; hope that helps haha. Laughing

drinking fluids does help so if ur not drinking anything dont wonder why ur bound up and try to eat rite too..set aside time from the monitor get some physical activity done. people dont realize how much stress sitting glued to a pc screen causes, and yes it is an addiction, or can be considered one. as can anything if given so many unuseful hours a day. Laughing

give it a try :b btw if u sweat thats usually when u need fluids but if u feel thirsty also could be a sign u need to drink something 6-8 cups of water a day is a myth unless ur an athlete perhaps and then some.
