Question:
When young I would go 1 wk w/out pooping Had surgery and have diabetic neorpathy in bowel. Any natural cures?
Had 1 1/2 foot of bowel removed when 25 now am 51 with diabeties . There is a condition diabetics have that causes the bowel not to feel the need to go. It's like having neuropathy in the feet but this is in the bowel. This is a yukky subject but I am taking at my wit's end to find something that works. I need a natural cure since I do not have a decent medical insurance. I am taking chewable acidophilus before meals and a stool softener. I still go every 2 to 4 days. This is a pain. I used to go after my surgery 2 to 3 times a day. Now by the 4th day I am in so much pain and quizzy to my stomach. I eat fruits and veggies and eat a healthy diet. No red meats and I eat beans and whole grains. What else can I try. I did the punch juice and the bran flakes but to no avail. Helppppppppppp Thanks Rae
Answers:
i am going on faith that you have diabetic neuropathy in the bowel...it can appear in any organ anywhere. if so then this should work just fine. try a food supplement called alpha lipoic acid and take 600 to 900 mg per day unless the label says otherwise. i had neuropathy of the feet 5 years ago. i started taking 600 mg per day within a week of first feeling the funny sensation of tingling and burning and restlessness. the feelings subsided within a week and has never come back.
