Yes - poop. It's what everyone seems to talk about once the counselor room doors clos
e. I hold back a laugh as client after client grumbles about their bathroom issues. I think it's time we stop being embarrassed and solve the problem! Fortunately, I have an answer......
All Bran Bran Buds. Go to the store - now! I tell my clients to start with 1/3 cup every other day following immediately with 2 cups of water. They MUST drink 8-10 cups of water throughout the day for the bran to work its magic. Wait a few days and move to using the cereal every day if necessary. A one-third cup serving equals one starch serving.
The second piece of advice I give (for more dire situations) is Senna tea. Senna (an herb) is a natural laxative which is consumed as a tea. I personally use
Kleri Tea from
Colonix (google it)once in a while, but I've also heard good things about Smooth Move which is available in grocery stores. You'll want to start with the minimum seeping time and then increase that time to achieve the desired results.
One word of caution: you may want to check with your doctor prior to drinking Senna as there are some contraindications if you have certain ailments. It is also only intended to be used occasionally, as frequent use causes your body to require Senna for bowel movements. With that being said, though, it's wonderful!
Happy bathroom time!
