Hi,

I've not been constipated in quite awhile now that my system has balanced

after stopping Pentasa in September. Should I continue the Cal/Mag supplement

or I was thinking to finish the bottle ( few days left) and see what happens. I

eat cheese pretty much daily and 1tsp yogurt but greens (kale or spin) every

day...

Also - is peppermint extract legal? Can seeds be ground into flour prior to

the end of symptoms?

Thanks,

Hi Liz,

That's good news!

If you have been taking it all this time how about weaning yourself

off it instead of stopping it abruptly. You could try weaning it

over a 1-3 week period whichever you are comfortable with.

Good sources of calcium.

<<< Also - is peppermint extract legal?>>>

Pure peppermint extract is legal.

If you mean seeds like cumin seeds to be used as a flavour for foods

then yes. If you mean seeds like sesame seeds or sunflower seeds

sorry but no. There is an explanation at
