The medication of choice of most modern doctors is Senokot (available over

the counter) which is a natural vegetable laxative and stool softener. It's

very gentle to the system. However as previously mentioned, prunes or prune

juice is just as good, and you also get lots of antioxidants with your

fiber. Prunes are loaded with good stuff.

Hi.

I developed this irregularity and discomfort problem as I tried to add

animal protein and some recreational white flour to my diet and some oils.

I cured it by going back to lots of legumes, oat cereal almost daily, low

fat heavily slanted to Omega 3. Also, 8 to 10 veggies daily, and 3 to 5

fruits. As mentioned in last post, I also use eggbeaters and yogurt in

controlled amounts, as well as fish once a week or less. I'm feelin' pretty

good these days.
