Hi....what a great bunch of folks you are! Hopefully, I can get a little feedback on a few questions.
-Has anyone had the experience of acacia 'slowing them down'. I tried ramping up very slowly over a week, got only bloat, (no poop) and finally quit, discouraged. Advice please?! I wonder if it 'gummed me up' or if I just need to be more patient? (for me, a week is a LONG time)
-Same with peppermint. I have NO cramping but do 'lock up' with pressure on my left side. However, I used to try peppermint for this and felt, because it is a relaxant, it made my muscles even less likely to contract and move things along. (my peristaltic process seems almost non-existant) Is my thinking goofed up or perhaps this is just the way my system works? If anyone can share their experiences, I would appreciate it.
-Last, I have, for 20 yrs, tried to motivate a morning BM with hot liquid, sometimes just two cups work (tea usually or grain coffee substitute), sometimes need 5,(tough on a schedule, esp. travel, with a husband along) ....and then sometimes this 'routine' won't work at all and nothing happens or it is 'incomplete'. My question: do you 'C's' have some routine like that or is 'forcing' things causing more problems?
Sorry this is awfully long for 3 simple questions but would really appreciate any feedback!!! Thanks so much!!!
