Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Dear Patty, It's great that you got all those problems solved with constipation. Unfortunately, the drugs cause this, but we need the medication, so it becomes a vicious circle. Having good motility helps so much, and that exercise certainly doesn't hurt, either. I'm glad that things are going so well for you. With love, hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H. Griffeth South Carolina SC & SE Regional Rep.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yep yep yep.. I am the same way... each time I try the almond flour I see small amounts of blood as well.. I am trying pecan flour and or coconut flour as substiutes each time.. It seems to mess with the consistancy but I will stay away from the almond flour for a couple more months ...then try it again..

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thank-you , All of You for your advice . I just got back home and now gave him the charcoal tabs. Will get Mint Tea today. No more almond flour for now or nut butters. Will try that later. It's a hard call , Up the steroids back up so he can eat more variety or taper down . Even , with one pancake a day and two T nut butter he still not gaining wt back still at 165lbs. First heal , then fatten up I guess. Again, If this site where not here , well My husband would be back in hospital, so thanks. > > > Husband has been having some mild to mod. gas and bloating last three days, he has been eating 2 T almond butter for added calories, last wk only one T of Almond Butter.
