Question: Chronic Constipation?
I have been going to the doctor for years about this and have gotten many tests done, including a colonoscopy, upper GI, and numerous cat scans.

Lots of Pure Orange Juice and a Stephen King omnibus of horrors stories should do the trick !
You have the problem of bowel movement. You may try Homeopathy medicine Nux.Vom.200 5pills at bed time and next day morning Bryonia 200 5 pills, before breakfast. Take this for 5 days.
You may consult a homeopathy doctor. The above two medicines are harmless and non habit forming.
Are you quite thin and energetic? Slightly overweight?------Check your thyroid levels. t4, tsh.
Otherwise, are you drinking enough fluids? water specifically.
My suggestion then is to take probiotics. I went to a gastroen., who put me on miralax-which did nada for my constipation. Then I started researching on my own. I learned about probiotics and how they are used in Europe all the time. I learned how they work and why they work, and now I take them without hesitation. Probiotics contain bacteria that are naturally found in your digestive system, mostly the intestine, that help break down food to be used most effectively, but most importantly, they keep things moving along. In this country, if you are in USA that it, we only hear about probiotics in yogurt, and now pet foods. But they are gaining recognition over here too, and there are many more to choose from now than there were several years ago (that's how long they've been working for me!). I use one with several different types of bacteria in them, to cover more bases and be most effective. Hey, it's natural, I'm putting it back in my body, like a supplement, and it's working "regularly" for me. I've tried many, many things to get back on track, and this is the only thing that has worked for me. It might help you. In any case, best wishes and good luck, and I'm sorry to hear you are miserable right now.
