It sounds like it never did stop working for you, but that you just lost touch with the doctor.

And you take all 3 Tablespoons of flax at once?

Do you peel all your fruit, or just the apples?

Finally, when and how much at a time, do you take your acacia? Are you still working on increasing it or are you happy at one Tablespoon. I'm up to 4 1/2 tsp as of yesterday. Still not sure about it!

Oh, do you use Heather's brand peppermint tea too? Have you ever tried her capsules?

I heard that sometimes when you stop the zelnorm for a while and then return to it, it works again. So, if you start having problems again, it may be an option.

The Ducolax scares the crap out of me. Everything I have read says not to take stimulant laxatives. But this doctor is the head of the whold GI clinic at Northwestern Hospital. He also wants me to stop Acacia and go on Miralax. I don't know what to do...who to trust...what the best course of action is for me!

What brand triphala do you take and how many mg? I take Planetary Formula (4 a day at 1000mg each)!

thanks for listening!
