For constipation and relief of muscle and knee pain, I take half a teaspoon of baking soda when I get up in the night to void. It produces results soon after getting up for the day, muscle pains are much less and after doing this for several days my knee pain is gone. There is no happiness like an empty rectum. I'm 82.

Thanks Loren and Dalo for posting the tip about taking 1/2 tsp. of baking soda for constipation. I'm going to try taking it every night before going to bed. Will let you know how it works out.

How do you use the Baking Soda? Do you mix with water, and if so, how much? Thanks.

Hi Shirley,

Sorry no one responded. Try adding 1/2 tsp. BS to a 1/2 C water.

Love, KT
