I’ve Suffered from Constipation Issues Most of My Life… The fact is — many people do. Life is Unpleasant When You’re Not Regular. | Colon Cleanse Products and Constipation Treatments

Below You Will Find The Top Products That Actually Do Work To Stop Constipation.

Hi! My name is Sue and over the past ten years I’ve looked at tons of constipation products. The majority of them are a joke! Many are harmful and even addictive.

The truth is that constipation is usually caused by a handful of factors. (I discuss all of them on this site!)

Over the last ten years I have educated myself by talking with lots of experts about digestive health. Now I love helping others…so they don’t have to go through what I went through.

Here you will find the constipation product reviews that are worth mentioning. As of September, 2010 Acai Pure was by far the best performer. It’s the one that I found to be amazingly effective at providing constipation relief. I’ll explain why these products work or don’t work. It helps to know how the colon (large intestine) operates.

After trying a constipation product, please come back and let me know what your results were. I really enjoy hearing from people and it helps other people know what works and what doesn’t.

Also, please check out what other users are saying by clicking on the “User Feedback” link for any product.

It would be pretty easy to create flashy website with the words miracle cure on every other sentence. I decided that the best thing to do was educate you on how constipation comes about and then you could decide which product would be best for you.

Here is the cold hard truth. If you now suffer from constipation, you will continue to suffer from constipation until you know how the colon (large intestine) can be damaged.

One of the stories that has been bantered around after movie star John Waynes death from Cancer was that at his autopsy they removed over 35 pounds of impacted fecal matter from his colon.

It is hard to discern if this is urban legend or fact. However, if this is true you can certainly understand how this waste could have adversely affected his health.

How much undigested food and waste material is being held in your colon?

When we think of cleansing we have to keep in mind that the body has seven channels of elimination. Just like you would clean your entire house you should also undertake a regimen of cleansing all of your channels of elimination. These channels are the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, blood, skin, colon and kidneys. A cleanse which focuses on only one of the channels of elimination is akin to deciding that you are only going to clean the closets in your house.

Keep in mind that if waste does not get excreted through your rectum it will try to get out of your body through either the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, blood, skin, colon or kidneys. If it doesn’t get out it could contribute to chronic illness.

It is vital that you keep this important factor in mind!

You have to get the crap out so that it won’t affect your overall health.

FACT #1 - As food moves through the digestive system, the colon absorbs water while forming waste products, or stool.

The majority of people who suffer from constipation have dehydrated digestive systems.

Constipation is defined by the medical community as infrequent and difficult bowel movements. Constipation definitely means different things. For many people, constipation means infrequent stools. For others, however, constipation means hard stools, or difficulty in passing stools, or a sense of incomplete elimination after going to the bathroom.

A constipated colon is one in which the transit time of food is more than 24 hours. Transit time is the length of time it takes for food to enter the mouth and exit the rectum. The basic principle of good digestive health is that you should put food in and within 24 hours that food should come out as waste.

The naturopathic perspective is that the longer the transit time of food, the longer these toxins stay in our digestive tract which permits proteins to putrefy, fats to get rancid, and carbohydrates to ferment.

FACT #2 - Many medications and the overuse of laxatives often contribute to chronic constipation issues.

I am not a Doctor. Nor do I play one on Television. But many people actually resolve their constipation issues when they get stop taking medications. My advice is to consult your medical professional.

The most common offending medications include:

Best Selling Aluminum-containing antacids. These harmful products contain ingredients like Amphojel and Basaljel
Narcotic pain medications like codeine which is found in Tylenol #3, Percocet, oxycodone and hydromorphone ;
Many popular Antidepressants which contain amitriptylene and imipramine are known to cause constipation.
Calcium channel blocking drugs such as Cardizem and Procardia have also been linked to chronic constipation issues.

One suspected cause of severe constipation is the over-use of stimulant laxatives (e.g., senna, castor oil, and certain herbs). An association has been shown between the chronic use of stimulanat laxatives and damage to the nerves and muscles of the colon, and it is believed that the damage is responsible for the constipation.

Question? How many times a day do you have a bowel movement?

I recognize that this question may seem peculiar, but it the most basic sign of good digestive health. Over 95% of health problems start in the digestive system and constipation is certainly a culprit in many of these maladies.

Bowel movements should correlate to how many meals are eaten in a 24 hour period. If you eat three meals in a 24 hour period, you should have three bowel movements. If not, you are constipated. The statistics show that over 65% of the American Population is constipated.

If you have one bowel movement per day, that equates to only seven eliminations per week. My question to you is where is all of the other digested food ending up?

There are two different theories related to constipation. They are the traditional Medical Opinion as well as the holistic opinion.

Traditional Medicine defines constipation as the passage of small amounts of hard dry stool. However it also states that we have different levels of metabolism and because of this we all experience different frequencies of elimination.

Holistic Medicine believes that you should have one elimination for every meal you eat each day. The holistic practitioner would tell you that the healthiest digestive system is one that absorbs food and nutrition at meals and eliminates the toxic waste 12 to 18 hours later. If the food stays in your system for more than 18 hours it putrefies, accumulates toxins which get absorbed into the bloodstream and contributes to numerous other health concerns.

If you are constipated there are several things that you can do to bring your body back into balance.

DRINK more water. Ideally you should drink one ounce of water for every pound of body weight each day. This will help rehydrate the digestive system.
Exercise Regularly. This will increase the blood flow which will assist with normal elimination.
Supplement with a good daily fiber product that consists of ground flax.
Lubricate your digestive system with Essential Fatty Acids like Flax, Borage and Fish Oils which make it easier to have an elimination.

The reason that Constipation is a serious health concern is that we absorb whatever is put in our digestive system. If your digestive system is blocked and filled with waste you will absorb that waste and put the burden on your liver, lungs, lymphatic system, blood, skin, colon and kidneys to assist in getting those toxins out of your body.

It is always a great idea to see a naturopathic medical practitioner who can suggest great supplements, reading materials and healthy alternatives when confronted with poor digestive health.

Here is the real shocker.

Some medical evidence is beginning to show that consuming more water can resolve many concerns.

How much water do you drink every day? The majority of people do not drink enough!

In 1995 in a groundbreaking book, Dr. F. Batmanghelidj. MD published his research on dehydration entitled “Your Bodies Many Cries For Water” which shocked the medical community and pharmaceutical industry. In this book the author shows medical evidence which supports his thesis that the majority of medical conditions stem from dehydration.

The research by scientists clearly shows that dehydration is one of the most common health maladies and the most easily preventable. The findings clearly demonstrate that quite often heartburn, rheumatoid pain, back pain, headaches and pains in the legs are all the result of dehydration. This is referred to as dyspeptic pain and is being thoroughly researched by scientists. This makes perfect sense if we study the physiology of the human body. Starting at the back of the lips and going all the way to the rectum is a mucosal lining. This lining covers the entire length of the digestive system and usually injuries to this lining precede serious disease conditions. The purpose of the lining is to filter out toxins and help transport food down the digestive tract. As this lining loses its elasticity and moisture the result is pain, aging and eventually disease.

In recent years the medical community has slowly been coming around to recognizing the truth in this brilliant research. However, the mainstream medical community still ignores this research and its findings. The question you have to ask is can chemicals and high priced procedures heal the body when the problem could be chronic dehydration?
