Okay, we all know that most of our meds gives us constipation. I know that my gut feels full of $Hit and
that I don't have normal movements. I have researched this topic everyone always says eat more "fiber" yadda yadda yadda well it don't work like that. I am thinking of an alternative therapy like a colon cleanse "seriously" I mean it's not a laxative and it's a 2 week or so program and it eliminates the toxins from the colon. Do you think that this would be benifitual to us beepers since our meds are so toxic and we stay stopped up? I mean wouldn't you like to have a normal bowl movement?
Sorry it's kinda a funny post but serious matter

It wouldnt hurt anyone to do a colon cleanse.
Those PRECIOUS NORMAL MOMENTS that GD normies take for granted. GOD what I wouldn't do!!
My first few months on Topamax gave me those ..... wonder why I can't get those back.
Any information you can give us, please do share.
Unfortunately lithium only made me shake, fall down and added 30 pounds to my petite frame, Now I am a single, aged, undateable MONSTER in LA ..... no confidence ...... sob ......... who can't take a normal poo .....
I've never had that problem from meds and rarely from anything.
But I eat a really high fiber diet.
If you are using over the counter things like Metamucil, I'd recommend you switch over to flax meal and All-Bran and natural foods that are high in fiber. (If you DO try flax meal, get it from the baking aisle, not the pharmacy section or a health food store; much cheaper.) Just adding that stuff from the pharmacy section doesn't work anywhere NEAR as well!!
And, no matter what the source of your fiber, did you make sure to drink a LOT of water with it!!!? A LOT!!! Fiber in your guts absorbs a lot of liquid (as well as make a lot of poop) and if you don't drink oceans of water with it, it will take what fluids it can get, but if it's not enough, it will just worsen the problem by making lots of shit that is rock hard, making a trip to the bathroom less than enjoyable!!!
I've heard lots of doctors on TV (and one or two in real life) say that those claims that we have bad 'toxins' in our intestines which are doing all kinds of harm to our overall health and we need to cleanse ourselves of them is nothing more than a load of shit (ha, ha.)
But if it makes you poop, who cares about the rest of it!!!!!
Good luck!!! I hope it works for you!!!!
You could also try taking a Tablespoon or two of Mineral Oil at night.
