When i say ground flax seed, i mean the stuff you buy in the refirgerated section of the health food store, it is flax seeds that have been ground up finely so that your body can digest them without just passing right on through as they would if they were whole, it is usually in a vaccuum sealed bag and costs between 5-10 dollars for a big bag and you only need 1-2 tbsp a day. When i get constipated and lately that isn't much i do 1 tbsp in the morning and one at night, or 2 and 2, and by the next day , i go, sometimes there is some cramping, but it is a nice natural way for your body to go, so i deal with it (more likely on the 2 and 2 dose)

I went form A to C as follows.
I used to be constipated for 4-5 days going only tiny amounts daily knowing that it was all building up and by the 4rth day i was feeling bloated, tired and nauseous, then i would finally go, but it would be D, then it would start all over again. After adjusting my diet, cutting up cheese and yogurt, and all meat i was still c, but without the d attacks, after taking the acacia and flax i started to go normally, now io take neither and still go everyday since my diet is full of IF, i don't eat any white flour products, never have.
Thats my story.
