Tips and Advice to Chronic Contipation

Chronic Constipation Solutions

Constipation can be divided into three categories, by the time it takes to treat the problem. The short-term ones are caused by travel, diet, medication, surgery and other known causes. They mostly correct themselves.

The medium-term ones are caused by low-fiber diet, low liquid consumption, lack of exercise, old age, pregnancy, abuse of laxatives and consumption of dehydrating things like caffeine and alcohol. These can be treated with changed in diet, life-style changes and laxatives.

The long-term Constipation, or Chronic Constipation, is caused by serious disorders of the GI tract or other chronic diseases. The GI tract problems include irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal obstruction, colonic inertia, anorectal dysfunction and structural problems like tumors, fissures, hemorrhoids, fistulae and other problems. To diagnose the above problems many tests are used, including barium x-rays, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, colorectal transit study, anorectal function test and defecography.

If no structural obstruction is found in the GI tract, the Chronic Constipation is treated like other less serious ones. Educating the patients about bowel movements, maintaining a high-fiber diet and a lot of liquid intake, avoiding dehydrating substances, exercising and bowel training are the starting treatments, along with bulk-forming laxatives like psyllium & methylcellulose.

If the problem persists, more harsh laxatives, such as hyperosmatics or saline, can be tried. Stronger laxatives like anthraquinones, emollients or stimulants are tried next. Biofeedback is a good treatment if the Constipation is caused by outlet inertia.

Anyone would benefit from a periodic colon cleansing program twice or three times a year followed by a strait healthy regimen with a life style change and high daily fiber intake to promote at least 2 to three times a day bowel movements, that will eliminate constipation and all it's uncomfortable health side effects.

Are You Lacking These Two Essentials?

(Despite how common these two "nutrients" are, many women get ZERO grams of either.)

You may find this hard to believe, but thousands of women go days, if not weeks, without ingesting a SINGLE gram of two of the most essential things for a healthy life. And, I'm not talking about women in third world countries. I'm talking about women who eat three meals a day, in the most developed nations on the planet.

These two essential ingredients are not only necessary to ensure you regularly have 2-3 bowel movements everyday... But they are critical to the overall health of your body. Without them, negative side effects crop up quickly. Though most conventional doctors don't trace cancer, heart disease, kidney failure, etc. back to a lack of these two nutrients, it's hard to deny.

So what two "nutrients" am I talking about? Here we go...

Nutrient #1: Water.

And when I say many women don't get any water for days on end. I'm not exaggerating. At least they don't get PURE water (which is what you're body needs).

By pure water, I don't mean spring water or filtered water (though those are good choices).

I just mean water: Undiluted H2O. Instead, most people get their water in beverages like pop, coffee, tea, juice and milk. Yes, you are getting water by drinking these beverages, but it doesn't absorb properly or completely. In fact, caffeine present in coffee, pop and tea actually causes you to lose an abnormal amount of water (as well as calcium) in your urine.

I won't go into all the physiological reasons why water just doesn't absorb properly when mixed with sugar, caffeine and other ingredients. Instead, I'll prove it to you...

Starting today, you need to start drinking 6-8 cups of water. Preferably 30 minutes before or after a meal. Don't mix anything with it. JUST WATER. Make sure you drink filtered water or spring-water from a good source. But tap water is better than nothing -- so drink it if you must.

As it directly relates to constipation, your bowels need water to keep your stools soft and easy to push through. If your body is being denied water, it will suck it out of your food, turning your

stools into hard pellets that are painful and slow moving. If you want to count a few cups of water in the form of herbal teas, that's fine, but no black tea, nothing with caffeine. Start doing this immediately. If it sounds like a lot, break it down...

Upon arising, drink 2 cups of water all at once. You're usually dehydrated in the morning, so this will help flush out your system. Then you need to consume two more cups between breakfast and lunch. Fill a bottle with two cups and sip on it throughout the morning. If you just drink a little at a time, it will absorb better and not result in frequent trips to the restroom.

Fill the bottle up again after lunch, then after dinner poor your-self a glass of herbal tea.

I don't know how much water you're drinking right now. But if, like some of many peoples, it is about 1 or 2 cups, then this is most definitely affecting your constipation.

Colon Cleansers Reviews >>> Be healthy and stay healthy!

I'm not saying drinking 8 cups will necessarily stop your constipation, but it will definitely reduce it. Let us look at other less obvious causes of constipation and how to eliminate them. But drinking water is a foundation. I doubt anything else will help you much if you are not first drinking at least 6 cups of water a day -- 8 is better.

Nutrient #2 Lacking in Most Women's Diet: Fiber

FIBER is an indigestible part of plant food. Because you can't absorb it, it gives volume to your stools and soaks up water making them soft. Without fiber your stool becomes small and tough. You probably know exactly what I mean. It's easy enough to add fiber to your diet. You don't need to start taking special fiber drinks or anything like that.

Instead, you need to start eating plenty of:

1. Fruits (preferably raw).

2. Vegetables (raw or lightly steamed and/or baked)

3. Nuts and seeds.

4. Whole grains (e.g. brown bread, brown rice... not WHITE).

The vast majority of food sold at supermarkets contains ZERO grams of fiber. Even ones that do claim to contain fiber have often damaged it by processing or overcooking. Dairy and meat do not contain fiber. That's fine; just don't make a meal of dairy and meat, that's all.

Most processed foods contain little or no fiber. E.g. cookies, bread, pasta and pizza, this doesn't mean you need to give up these foods. In fact, your supermarket should carry whole grain varieties of these foods. If not, go to a health food store.

But just because they say "whole grain" it doesn't mean that it is. Look on the list of ingredients. Often it will INCLUDE wholegrain flour, listed _after_ "wheat flour" or "enriched wheat flour." Wheat flour is just a new name for white flour. White flour and whole wheat flour are both WHEAT. But only trust the label when the ingredients say WHOLE first.

Overall, you're better off staying away from the processed foods. Most people eat far too much starch. Eat less starch and fill your plate up with vegetables instead -- both raw and cooked. And instead of relying on bread, bread, bread, start cooking grains, like brown rice, quinoa & barley.

Now some women run into trouble adding grains, vegetables and fruits to their diet. They complain of stomach upset, gas and bloating. Sometimes they even find they become MORE constipated. This can be very discouraging. This may happen to you if you've been stuck on a low-fiber diet for a long time.

In this collection of Constipation Relief Strategies, you will learn how to switch to a high-fiber diet with little or no problems...

* Sweet Conversion: Read how to start your conversion to a high-fiber diet with a sweet snack in between meals.

Get Slimmer as a side effect: High fiber foods cause sugar to absorb slower into your blood- stream, so it doesn't get stored easily as fat. Plus, they add bulk to your diet, curbing your appetite.

* Step-by-Step: Even if the closest you currently come to "fiber" is the relish on your hot dog, discover how to make the switch over. My short, yet effective, step-by-step plan not only gets rid of negative physical reactions, but it's also gradual enough that your mind doesn't resist either.

* Reduce Bloating: Fiber also "scrubs" the side of your colon.

* Getting rid of hardened fecal matter that is making your abdomen bulge and blocks waste from passing through. The same scrubbing action stimulates the peristalsis (pumping movements) of your colon.

This section also helps prevent and treat many other diseases. Colon cancer being one of the prime examples. Fiber has the added benefit of pushing carcinogenic toxins out of your gut.

That's not all fiber does for you... it also slows the absorption of food, stopping sudden rises in blood sugar which can lead to diabetes. Plus, high-fiber diets have also been proven to lower and prevent high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

There are just so many reasons -- other than reducing your time in the washroom -- that you should get on a high-fiber diet. But you need to know how to make the transition.

Do You Take Any of These Medications?

Oftentimes many people show up with several symptoms that can be traced back to the medications they are taking, both prescription and over the counter. If you're taking any form of medication it could very likely be affecting your bowels and be partly responsible for your constipation. In fact, many off-the-shelf concoctions, such as stomach antacids, contain a hard core that will most definitely dry up your stool -- making it difficult for you to go.

Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs contain constipating ingredients as well. And, of course, constipation is probably not the only side effect you're experiencing from these drugs. But, even if it was, that would be enough to make you want to switch, reduce or eliminate them. As we've already discussed, constipation can easily lead to serious bowel and liver problems.

My first suggestion, of course, would be to book an appointment with a local Naturopathic Doctor and start receiving natural treatment for the condition that requires you to be on medication. Your Naturopathic Doctor may refer you to other natural healers who can provide additional support. For example, chiropractic care can relieve the need for pain medication.

Acupuncture treatment can reduce or eliminate allergies.

Not withstanding, simply adjusting your diet, exercising more and taking specific herbal remedies may be all you need to get off expensive and toxic medication. The other possibility is reducing your current doses of medication. This is something you'll want to do under the supervision of your personal or family doctor. For example, you may find HALF the recommended dosage will produce the same results, with half the negative side-effects.

Women tend to benefit from reducing dosages more than men because their bodies tend to be smaller and metabolism slower. The "recommended" dose is far too general to apply to all the different sizes and shapes of people on this planet. You need to find a dose that does the job,without taking any excess.

Our Colon Friendly Bacteria's

Billions of Microscopic Bacteria Want to Be Your Friend!

In 2001, a young girl from Canada's East Coast, named Lindsay Edmund put together a science fair project. The findings from this high school assignment were later published in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association. Here's what she did...

Lindsay completed a survey of 100 physicians. She discovered that they all prescribe antibiotics regularly. Yet only 10% recommend probiotics together with the antibiotics. And only 18% were even aware there was any research on introducing good bacteria. So...

You're About to Gain More Probiotic Knowledge Than 82% of Nova Scotian MDs

As you may already know, the right types of gut bacteria are essential for a healthy intestinal tract. Gas and bloating are often caused by too many unfriendly bacteria feasting on your lunch and excreting toxic and gaseous waste in return. Good bacteria will keep their numbers down.

In fact, many more MDs are now recommending women take probiotics after a course of antibiotics. As 80% of female patients tell me, antibiotic treatment almost always leads to a nasty yeast infection.

But not only should you take probiotics AFTER the antibiotic treatment but also during. It's so important you don't do this wrong -- otherwise the antibiotics will wipe out whatever healthy bacterial flora you introduce.

Many people experience constipation or diarrhea with antibiotic treatment and this may be partly why. If you wipe out all life in your colon, you can't expect it to work properly.

Colon Cleansers Reviews >>> Be healthy and stay healthy!
"Probiotics" comes from the Latin, meaning "for life." Antibiotics, on the other hand, means "against life." Antibiotics kill off bacteria. Probiotics introduce healthy, essential bacteria.

ONE Course of Antibiotics Wipes Out 99.9% of ALL The Bacteria in Your Colon

Yeepp, that means the bad guys AND the good guys.

Worse still.... oftentimes, the unfriendly bacteria will grow back faster. Now the ratio is off. Your gut, lungs, urinary tract, skin, etc. are under the rule of a new species.

On top of that... conventional meat, eggs and dairy products contain antibiotics. The conditions in which we raise livestock have become so inhumane, filthy and crowded that antibiotics are automatically added to feed.

So, if you're eating non-organic animal products, you're constantly giving the friendly and UNFRIENDLY bacteria in your gut small doses of antibiotics. Not sufficient to wipe them out, but enough to build up their resistance.

Instead, you want to keep the bad guys weak and let the good guys rule. And boy, do they know how to take up space... Consume some plain Yogurt on daily regulat basic will give these frindly bugs a boost to keep your gut healthy.

What you can learn today is the importance of switching to organic milk, cheese, eggs, butter, chicken, fish... anything that comes out of an animal. Not only are conventional animals treated with antibiotics but they are also pumped full of artificial hormones to force them to grow faster or produce more milk.

Colon Cleansers Reviews >>> Be healthy and stay healthy!

Many of my readers have found that switching to organic has relieved their intolerance to milk. They were in fact not intolerant to the milk, but to the hormones and antibiotics that were being fed to the cows.

On top of that these cows are being fed genetically modified, pesticide-sprayed grains and other crops. And now the FDA has just okayed cloned meat for human consumption.

Sure, it'll cost you a little more to eat free-range, grass-fed, organic animals products... but you'll probably pay three fold in health care if you stick with the conventional.

To Your Healthy Colon,

Benefits of Colon Cleansing

Benefits of Colon Cleansing


What is Colon Cleansing?

The term Colon Cleanse refers to the process of removing toxins, debris, and waste from the colon and your intestines. There are many schools of thought about the proper process of colon cleansing, however, most health experts agree, there are a multitude of healthful benefits associated with ridding your body of toxins. Learn about the benefits of colon cleansing and how a proper colon cleanse can improve your health.

One of the primary benefits of colon cleansing is that it improves the functioning of the colon and is helpful in alleviating or preventing constipation. The typical American diet is rich in foods that cause constipation such as meats, dairy products, and pre-packaged dinners. These foods are high in fat, refined sugars, and preservatives and they can be very difficult to digest. In addition, most Americans do not even come close to eating the recommended amount of fiber that helps to aid digestion and move waste through the system. The result is a partial decomposition of waste, which becomes encrusted on the walls of the colon walls and hinders elimination.

A good cleansing program should always begin by removing the waste in your colon, the last portion of your food processing chain. If you attempt to clean your liver, blood, or lymph system without first addressing a waste filled bowel, the excreted toxins will only get recycled back into your body.

One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today is constipation. Constipation is generally attributed to a low fiber diet and lack of sufficient water, which cause our fecal matter to become condensed and compressed.

The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will still have at least three meals worth of waste matter putrefying in your colon at all times. On top of all this, your system can also become continuously self-polluting by the poisonous gases that are caused by foods you don't tolerate. These poisonous gases can enter your bloodstream, irritating your organs and joints.

Benefits of Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing can provide relief from illnesses such as colds & flu, constipation, diarrhea, breath and body odors, fatigue, headaches, sinusitis, allergies, hemorrhoids, weight problems, digestive difficulties, back and muscle aches, knee pain, poor eyesight, poor memory, stress, etc. We as human beings cannot expect to have quick minds or vitality for living when our bodies are polluted with waste. People report greater alertness, overwhelming joy, incredible insight, and even better sex after cleansing their colon.

Cleansing with Fiber

Fiber plays an essential role in maintaining the health of the digestive system, and adequate fiber in the diet has significant value in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and other ailments. Fiber cleanses the digestive tract and enhances its function. Metabolized by intestinal bacteria into substances that prevent colon cancer, Fiber dilutes and speeds the removal of carcinogens and other toxins in foods so that they spare the delicate lining of the GI tract. Fiber helps achieve optimal blood sugar control and cholesterol levels by slowing digestion and maximizing cholesterol excretion.

Herbal Colon Cleanse

Herbal colon cleansing may decrease the risks of developing certain health problems. Many people who are affected by a health condition have found that cleansing can help their body rejuvenate itself naturally. The body's immune system is the first line of defense against almost all infections and diseases. If your body has a strong immune system you will be less prone to infection. The immune system is made up of a vast system of lymphatic channels and lymph nodes. Detoxing your body and your colon with the right herbs and supplements is an all natural way to remove unwanted toxins and heavy metals from lymphatic system improving the overall immune system.
