Triphala Churna
★★★★★
Cautions with the powder... It tastes Horrific, so have a Detox fruit like a Pear cut up and ready to immediately eat to kill the taste before you brush your teeth. It's so bad, it will make your mouth parts angry.
Also, do not boil water because it will take forever to get down. Do not use Cold water because it will taste worse, if that's possible. Something you can mix up real quick and get down as fast as humanly possible, and on to the Pear.
Which exact product do you use which gives you almost instant bowel movement at a 10 ram dose?
How much water do you drink with the powder?
Without eating pear will still be effective?
Triphala Churna
★★★★★
I use the brand Organic India. It tastes "better" than others, but is still horrific. I drink it in a Coffee cup and might drink another cup of water afterward, but it doesn't seem to matter. The Pear has no relation to the effectiveness as far as I can tell, it is a Detox fruit so it's good, but it's main use is to rapidly kill the taste of the Triphala.
Weight-Bearing Exercises, Psoas Muscle Massage
★★★★★
In addition to avoiding or minimizing constipating foods, exercising with weights (resistance training, weight lifting) using moderate weights can help relieve constipation. Sometimes relief can be felt quickly, sometimes several hours later.
Quora in response to - Does a gym workout like weight lifting help with digestive issues? features a long AI response about the many benefits of resistance training (weight lifting) for relief. Squats, lifts, presses and rows are recommended. But overstraining must be avoided.
Psoas muscle massage can also help. A respondent, Tara Marie on Quora, answering - Does getting a massage help with digestion? mentioned that massaging the Psoas for twenty minutes helped a stroke victim. There is a simple video on Psoas release titled: Excellent SELF Manual Release Technique for PSOAS MAJOR - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-_XizhE2i9E
It is important to minimize fried foods, dense foods (dense proteins), for some people dairy and for some people gluten, white rice, and iron and calcium supplements - and foods containing these supplements such as white flour and many breakfast cereals, (Ferrous fumarate is an exception. It is a form of iron that is not constipating.)
Although, for some people gluten should be minimized, a study showed that more effective than laxatives is rye bread, made only from 100% whole rye flour.
A quarter or a third teaspoon Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) and a pinch or two of Cream of Tartar (potassium bitartrate) in a half cup of water in the evening may also be helpful. Too much Magnesium may cause dependency and also eventually stop working, so the less the better, and preferably not every day. Cream of Tartar (which may cause weight gain) is very high in Potassium and overdosing (taking tablespoons) may cause heart arrhythmia.
Senna Leaf Tea
Which exact type/species of Senna was recommended by mohammed in the quran and how was back then prepared?
Is it possible to drastically or completely eliminate the gripping/cramping/stabbing effects of Senna? If it is possible, how?
Thank you.
Senna Leaf Tea
How do you consume cascara and aloe forex? Do you make a tea out of them or ingest them as powder?
If you make a tea, how exactly do you make the tea? Like powder to water ratio, covered cup or not, for how long do you steep them?
I tried 1 teaspoon of cascara for 7 consecutive days but they were not as effective like 4 grams of senna leaves steeped in 250ml boiling water covered cup one dose only.
Never tried aloe ferox, which brand(s) do you use?
Thank you

In others however, lemon might make things worse, as it's sour/astringent nature could cause constipation.

Dietary Changes
★★★★★
I was constipated for much of my life. It's a difficult and stubborn problem to have. Now I stay regular by taking these things first thing in the morning and the triphala capsule evenings:
1/8 level cup whole rye flour. Rye decreases bowel transit time according to studies with rye bread.
1 level teaspoon dietary fiber cellulose powder. This adds about 4 grams of fiber.
1 level teaspoon inulin powder from chicory root.
Six 350 mg capsules of apple pectin. This congeals everything together in the bowels.
For the powders/flours, I just put one powder/flour in my mouth using a eighth cup measure, add some water to my mouth, let it soak in and swallow with additional water.
I discontinued/deleted the barley flour because I thought it slowed my bowel transit time, even though barley is supposed to improve bowel flora.
I did add a 500 mg capsule of triphala evenings which is a blend of 3 Indian fruits known to assist regularity.
---------------------
If neccessary, have one 12 oz glasses of bottled 100% fruit juice at lunch and in the afternoon. This supplies potassium for peristalsis and it increased regularity although it's no longer necessary.

All of you are making complicated claim about constipation. All you needs is Senna Leaf or Folium Sennae, in Chinese name "FAN XIE YE" you could buy at TCM Store in the state.
Very cheap. just take 5 small leaves and boil in hot water. Just like tea. No side effect. Natural.
Good Luck!
I am going to have to do something tomorrow bc I know it is not healthy to not have at least one bowel movement a day. Or that is what feels best for me.
Thanks!

Instead experimentation was made using one to two tablespoons Benefiber from the pharmacy (one can use up to six tablespoons Benefiber a day) in one or two glasses of water, in combination with one or two (or three) tablespoons Milk of Magnesia - sometimes also with some Magnesium Bicarbonate (made by pouring two or three full measuring tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia - a half to three fourths of the enclosed cap - into a bottle of seltzer/club soda and shaking the contents - as recommended on Earthclinic by Bill from San Fernando, Philippines - but sometimes using a bit less Milk of Magnesia than recommended).
Glucomannan, a fiber supplement recommended by Pam from Alabama, might also be used with the water and Milk of Magnesia.
Milk of Magnesia, starting at five Tbsp. and going down gradually, is recommended, in the name of an older doctor, by Redclary from Oklahoma .
Some extra seltzer/club soda, recommended by Carol from Cumberland, MD, is also helpful (used in the mixture).
This simple combination of Benefiber and Milk of Magnesia in water is much better than many other things used to help the intestines.
After a few days one can often use smaller amounts of the Milk of Magnesia while increasing slightly the Benefiber.
Benefiber is a fiber supplement that helps increase good bacteria in the body. It is made from Hydrolyzed guar gum. For some reason it is better than plain Guar Gum. Also, it is mostly tasteless and does not thicken.
