No I can't handle peppermint, unfortunately. Gives me tummy aches. And I read in Prescription for Nutritional Healing that you aren't suppose to drink chamomille everyday. It didn't say why though. I know some folks have an allergy to ragweed and it isn't recommended for them. But a few books I've read say no one should drink chamomille on a daily basis. This confuses me as to why not, though.
I never measured out how much I drink in a day. I just try to have a cup of hot tea going all the time. Expect for 30 minutes before a meal and 60 minutes after, which removes a lot of drinking time. I just heard it is better for digestion to do this. How much is exactly recommeded for constipated people? Is 8 cups enough?
How much exercise is recommended for us? I walk 30 minutes a day, but not sure if that is enough for my constipation. Any thoughts?
I know you are D and not C, though. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I really appreciate how the stable people still hang around for us who are still suffering.
