How To Treat Hemorrhoids

Posts Tagged ‘Bowel Regularity’

I suffer from constipation despite eating a high fiber cereal every morning, drinking at least 6 cups of water a day, eating mostly a vegan-like diet. I have recently, in the last couple of weeks, resorted to taking herbal laxative pills as well as metamucil powder, but neither seem to be helping. I even tried epsom salts, but nothing.

I am diabetic with other health complications and am on medications whose side effects include constipation. I cannot go off these medications without endangering my life, so I need to find other alternatives.

Anyone out there with this problem or with expertise in this area?

Not to be gross, but I go frequently, especially if I am up during the night. I definitely go at least once a day, sometimes 4 or more times a day. How often is too often?
