Pages: 1 Help! Trying to get regular       #348801 - 08/06/09 09:24 PM Edit Reply Quote Meower55 Reged: 06/24/08 Posts: 59 Loc: Beaverton, Oregon I get 3 1/2 - 5 hours of sleep before my gurgling insides wake me up. I need to eat more veggies and am trying, but need help in the meantime. How do I fit acacia, Caltrate, vitamins, acidolphus, Align, HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), metamucil, and a laxative into my life? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers -------------------- Nancy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Help!

I can't live without them. You may not notice results right away but I eat them every night before bed. Then,I have oatmeal every morning. After breakfast like clockwork! You may want to start with 3 and work your way up. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Help!

They were one of my Mom's preferred remedies when I was a kid. -------------------- Nancy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Thanks, Aperson       #348897 - 08/10/09 03:19 PM Edit Reply Quote Meower55 Reged: 06/24/08 Posts: 59 Loc: Beaverton, Oregon Thanks for the suggestion and understanding.

Just remember they don't work right away. You have to eat them every day kind of like how we take vitamins. Good luck!!! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
