Drink warm water. Dunno why it works but it does. If you want to MAKE yourself go (but very gently), add about a teaspoon of epsom salt to your warm water. I drink a cup of tea, first thing when I wake up. About 20 minutes later, I gotta go. Then I shower and start my day.
oatmeal for breakfast along with 2 slices of wheat bread keeps me going once a day….oatmeal also lowers cholesterol…give it a try maple and brown sugar is very tasty…
Every person have their own BM.Some ppl have 3 bm per day,others have a bm every 3 days.You are in the 2nd catagory. If you are not constipated or do not have any symptoms,pain for eg. its completly normal. But if you want to be like most ppl to have 1bmper day, go to the toilet each morning before work at the same exact time, your body will adjust to it but it needs some time.
dont need a colon cleanse, dont need a fiber supplement, need a better diet. I think grains & veggies work good. also certain food will soften your stool making it easier to pass. the same way some foods make your bm more regular, other foods also constipate you, like cheese. Figure out what they are, cuz im not a doctor honey :) but i do know all you should do is change your diet.
Fruit, veggies, unrefined whole foods, daily exercise, 6-8 glasses of water daily…. sit yourself on the toilet every day, taking your time, (at roughly the same time each day) and ensure you are uninterrupted to do your business.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet… if you don't want to take any added fiber (meaning no extra oatmeal or fruit), try some probiotics and/or enzymes. They help most people a lot more than just adding fiber.
Enzymes help the digestion of the food in your stomach (there's a variety of enzymes for the different foods that they digest), and probiotics help the absorption of the nutrients in your intestinal tract.
Most people get a lot of help from probiotics for consistency of their BMs. A colon cleanse would really just liquefy what's in there now and purge it…. it's not a long-term fix at all.
Also, in case you're wondering… you do NOT need to have a BM every day, much less every other day. Once a week is rather unhealthy, but every 2-4 days is pretty normal for a lot of people.
Try homeopathy. It's safe, natural, and does not have any side effects with other herbs or medicines you might be on. A colon clense is not necessary. Irregular bowel movements are often due to changes in schedule and food allergies that people are not aware of since most people have a food allergy by eating foods that are not compatible together. Choose from one of the following remedies based on your situation:
Bryonia: This remedy is indicated for constipation with a feeling of dryness in the rectum and large dry stools that are hard to push out, with sticking or tearing pains. The person feels grouchy or out of sorts, and may be tense from business-related worries.
Calcarea carbonica: People who need this remedy often feel more stable when constipated, and experience discomfort and fatigue when the bowels have moved. Large stools are hard at first, then sticky, then liquid. The person may feel chilly and sluggish, have clammy hands and feet, crave sweets, and feel weak and anxious when ill or overworked.
Causticum: This remedy may be helpful when stool is difficult to pass, with lots of painful straining. The person’s face may turn red from effort, and more success may come from standing up. When it finally emerges, the stool will be narrow and full of mucus.
Graphites: This remedy is indicated when large stools look like “sheep dung” or little balls stuck together with mucus. Aching often is felt in the anus after the bowels have moved. People who need this remedy are slow to become alert in the morning, usually stout, and have a tendency toward eczema.
Lycopodium: A person who needs this remedy has frequent indigestion with gas and bloating, and many problems involving the bowels. Rubbing the abdomen or drinking something warm may help to relieve the symptoms. A craving for sweets and an energy slump in late afternoon and early evening are strong indications for Lycopodium.
Nux vomica: “Wants to but can’t” is a phrase that brings Nux vomica to mind. This remedy is often helpful to people who are impatient, tense, and ambitious—who work too hard and exercise too little, indulge in stimulants or alcohol, and are partial to sweets and spicy food. Headaches, chilliness, and constricting pains in the bowels or rectal area often accompany constipation when Nux vomica is needed.
Sepia: A heavy sensation in the rectum, remaining after a bowel movement, may indicate a need for this remedy. Stools can be hard and difficult to pass, although they may be small. The person often has cold hands and feet, and is weary and very irritable. Exercise may bring improvement, both to constipation and to mood and energy level. (Sepia is often useful to women who develop constipation just before or just after a menstrual period.)
Silicea (also called Silica): When this remedy is indicated, the person strains for long periods without success. A “bashful” stool begins to come out, but eventually retreats. People who need this remedy are nervous and mentally acute, but also chilly, physically frail, and easily fatigued.
Sulphur: Dry, hard stools with reddish inflammation of the anus and offensive flatulence suggest a need for this remedy. Constipation may also alternate with diarrhea. People who need this remedy are often “characters” with interesting mental notions, slouching posture, and very little interest in tidiness.
Beside eating well with lots of veggies and fruits, drinking lots of water…I take yogurt pills daily. It contains millions of bifidus and acidophilus bacteria that helps you stay healthy and regular. It works better than eating yogurt. Also, eating cherries or drinking 100% cherry juice works too but don't drink too much of it, you don't want to stay in the bathroom forever.
Honestly, my husband suffered from constipation until I discovered an amazing cereal. Nature's Path Flax Raisin Bran…it's SUPER high in fiber & works wonders. Try it!!! You can get coupons for it on The Healthy Shopper website. If you're not having a BM atleast once a day then you're considered to be constipated. I would consider seeing a nutritionist to discuss your diet because it sounds like you're really lacking in fiber. You need to increase your water intake, & fruits & veggies big time!
Try Pro-Biotics. Two pills in morning and two at night. Also try some enzymes. Cut out all dairy products and drink half your body weight of water each day.
These things will certainly make you feel better.
I have actually heard that you want regular BMs. I have them almost every day, but them I'm vegan, and I end up eating a lot of fiber. You do NOT want stuff hanging around your digestive system for days on end. Don't use a supplement, but eat foods high in fiber–fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, and nuts. Dried fruits will really get you moving, pun intended. Drink a lot of fluids as well. Oatmeal is good, and so is granola sprinkled in soy yogurt. If you eat cereal, make sure it has at least 3 or 4 grams of fiber per serving. It can't hurt to toss in some raisins in your cereal to up your fruit intake.

don't think the colon cleanse is essential
drink 8 glasses of water per day and take some exercise, walking is as good as anything structured
I try to eat some oatmeal or some fruit before I go to bed.

A colon cleanse is not necessary.
You need to Kill yeast with a candida clear or better then that use a product called candidol .Builds immune system so your body gets rid of invaders.

not normal.work out.
Besides drinking more water you need to improve your diet.
More fruit and vegies and bread, cereals and muesli and pasta, potatoes and nuts.
Red meat is the worst and can give you colon cancer and eggs are no good either. Fish is better than chicken.
Liquid chlorophyll and apple cider vinegar are supposed to be two good colon cleansers.
