Right now I'm haivng a smoothie for breakfast every morning that I can, with woy milk, soy protein powder and a load of metamucil. I then have my BIG ol mucg of chai tea latte(lots of liquid, very little caffeine) and wash down a probiotic or 2. For dinner I have a pill or 2 as well. That's it, no drugs, no laxatives.
The lady at the health food store sugegsted I tinker with the dose till I felt some effect. I generally take between 2-3 a day. I am hoping if I start off strong and taper it down,that the good bacteria will grow and require less and less probiotic to regenerate.
But hey, for a lady whose health insurance is a plan where you pay up front and then get 75% back when they feel like sending it, I'm thinking a $10 giant jar of metamucil and a $25 probiotic a month is much more reasonable than paying $140 for my Zelnorm, and actually paying $35. Works out to the same, and it's all natural, not harsh on the body.
and I'm REGULAR! That's the best part. I went 4 times 3 days ago, twice 2 days ago, 4 times yesterday and am ready to go any minute now. And they are still fairly solid, so it's definitely not D. Ya Hoo!
