I take this. But like you when I did a search on the boards I found nothing. And when I posted the question like 2 times, nobody responded.
So I decided to take it based on what I've read about it on the web. Dr. Andrew Weil promotes this herb as safe, non addicting treatment for constipation. It is suppose to be something that the bowels don't become dependent on. Actually it seems like it is suppose to help the bowels get stronger. I took that as triphala helps "heal" and strengthen the bowesls. I don't know. But after much research, I made a choice to try it. Am I scared it may be causing harm? Sort of. But I haven't come across anything that says it is bad. All the stuff on the web has said positive things about it.
Let me know what you decide to do and how it goes for you. I know you are probably leery not to get into laxatives. I don't think this herb is one. But no one else on the board has seemed to have heard about it to give an opinion.
Please keep me udated on what you do. I am the sole guinie pig on this treatment so far. Would love some company!
