Possible solution to constipation

[johnny333]

Thanks for the link. I haven't heard of that one before. I fortunately don't have such a problem. I open my bowel sometimes three times a day It's a pain in the arse, as I hate using public conveniences. I was out shopping with a friend and she made me laugh so much, need I say more. It was so embarrassing as I couldn't find a toilet. :o I hope you don't mind me asking but does yours float or sink?

Essential fats is necessary for good health as the body cannot manufacture it & the lack of it will lead to cardio vascular problems, diabetes, etc. You may have heard of these fats as omega 3, omega 6 & omega 9. Not only do you need them but you also need them in the correct proportions

Go read about how important it is here:

http://udoerasmus.com/FAQ/FAQ_index_en.htm

If you lack the essential fats you'll have the following problems"
* Dry skin
* Constipation
* Low energy levels
* Brittle hair and hair loss
* Poor nail growth
* Deterioration of liver and kidneys
* Behavioral changes due to brain deterioration
* Glands dry up
* Immune system deteriorates, resulting in more infections, poorer wound healing, and increased cancer
* Digestion problems, inflammation, bloating, allergies, autoimmune conditions
* Bone mineral loss
* Reproductive failure: sterility in males and miscarriage in females
* Retarded growth of children
* Tingling in arms and legs due to nerve deterioration
* Vision and learning problems
* Insulin resistance
* Increased risk of overweight
* Increased cancer risk
* Increased cardiovascular risk
* Decreased ability to cope with stress
* In mental illness, increased symptoms
* Decreased lung function
* Decreased tissue oxidation


Just want to highlight the fact that it reallly helps with constipation I don't have constipation but now I go very, very regular Which is a good thing, & it's not like taking a laxitive but naturally as it should be.

I would only eat a slice of papaya & 1 to 2 bananas a day, that didn't work. That's why I turned to laxatives.

Would eating more papaya have softened my stool

In my case, the extended bed rest + medication caused the hardening of the insides:( I was too embarrassed to bring it up with the doctor or else the nurse would've given me an enema Don't know if an enema it would have been a long term solution.

It took a while before I got back to normal. So I can appreciate how terrible it can be

For me everyday half a papaya, one Red Dragon fruits and others (banana, persimonn, kiwi fuits, pineapple favourite fruits)

Once a week detox, dinner time one bowl of petai with ikan bilis!
Sure clear your system!

I don't like petai Yuck, stinky stuff

That's alot of fruits. You must visit the market very often. If more people consumed the amount of fruits that you do, there wouldn't be so much illnesses.

I searched on wiki for what petai is and it's really yucky looking

kuailan the way you put it, it's like you eat that petai with the ikan billis to force you to lao sai.

Does anyone know of a more pleasant way to detox?

In the past few weeks I have been taking a liquid mixture of Omega 3-6-9 plant based cold pressed oils. Dosage of 1 tablespoon per 50 pounds. I've done so to get the proper balance of Omega 3, Omega 6 & Omega 9. Prior to this I had only been taking fish based Omega 3 suppllements: Salmon & krill

I noticed a strange side effect, a more regular bowel movement
The effect is very obvious & very smooth

In the past I would suggest chlorella for people suffering constipation. I would now suggest an oil change first. You can get a bottle of Udo's 3-6-9 blended at GNC but it's cheaper at iHerb:
http://www.iherb.com/Flora-Udo-s-Choice-Udo-s-Oil-3-6-9-Blend-32-fl-oz-946-ml/4779?at=0

Try drinking a cup of salt water FIRST thing in the morning.....guaranteed to shit within 15 mins to 1/2 hour....just one or two tea spoon of salt to half a cup of luke warm water.

Haha, I didn't realise other people actually do this. When I was a kid and had constipation my mother would lubricate my ass with a wedge of wet soap.

wahlaneh...
'manual evacuation' is the best n most effective way to clear intestinal congestion.
if u dun mind dirtying ur hand...
sit on toilet bowl, apply KY jelly or some oil on ur middle finger:oIo:, then insert finger thru ur anus all the way into ur large intestine n 'kolek' ur sai until all come out.
ofcoz, wash ur hands thereafter lah.

Seriously I am very amazed by this thread. So many discussions on that sounds funny but of course if one get it it is not so funny.

I must thank most of you for being so helpful and informative on this subject. It goes to show this forum is not just for crazy people fighting one another.

Cheers

The Chinese ppl alway blame Petai for being smelly, yes its smelly petai, but they forgot one thing, the smell following day come from your body toxin being discharged, petai detox and cleanse your colon and internal organ! particularly your kidney, when u urinate it smells too, all from your organ inside your body, who's smelly now? not the Petai it's our internal organ!!

I was referring to the smell before consumption
I'm aware of the health benefits of petai but I think it's an acquired taste. Know someone who likes to eat it raw

While I was in Jkt I saw that it is used in many dishes such as nasi goreng with Petai combination, chilli Petai dishes, so there are very palatable dishes out there

Notice from my visits to NTUC that it's available locally so for anyone who wants to try petai it can found at the local NTUC.

As far as I know it's only available as is
Can try various receipes using petai. Try the ones with sambal if you like chilli.

There are so many causes for constipation. I think best way is to eat stuff that keeps your stool soft, if you are prone to constipation.

My grandma had constipation, couldnt shit for three weeks, the pain of shitting was so unbearable that she went into a fit.

What did she do about it

 

[Unrepented]

During the three weeks, drink water and eat veges but no use.

Due to the fit, she was hospitalized. Following her discharge, doctor gave her bottles of high fiber white mixture to be taken on daily basis but also no use.

Another female cousin also suffer from constipation, once she just black out at one of the bus interchange. Seems like when the body is "Xu Han" (weak and cold) constipation may arise.

Seems like taking persimmon fruit may help to soften the stool some what.

Also pure noni fruit juice may help me shit.:o So I dont have constipation.

I dont know how to prevent constipation though, also interest to find out just in case.:o

What did she do about it

This is very normal for old people. Her heart is also weak if I am not wrong. (Heart weak doesn't mean heart disease). My grandma suffer the same thing. Always constipation. Then went hospital, old age problems start to surface, become weaker then slowly bed ridden for 3 years and went heaven just last year. It was a happy occasion because can see she felt relief.

 

[Unrepented]

I am sorry to hear that, but as long as your family feels happy for her relieve.

I have mixed feelings when my grandmother passed away.

On one hand, just wish she ends her suffering and get to heaven or get a good rebirth.

But on the other hand, if there is no such thing as rebirth or heaven, she will just be gone and disapper, and we will miss her very much.

This type of thing just reminds us that life is so short and unpredictable.... a person that you can touch, feel and communicate.... just turn into white powder....reality is so abstact.:(

Sori to TS for the OT.
