5 Tricks to CONQUER Constipation
It’s tempting to turn to over-the-counter drugs for everyday discomforts like headaches or dry skin.
And constipation could easily fall into this category as well.
Maybe you ALREADY have a medicine cabinet crammed full of drugs like Miralax, Ex-Lax, and Colace.
But if being “backed up” is clogging up your plans, I have BETTER solutions.
These all-natural approaches can help get things moving—and YOU feeling like yourself again—FAST!
Constipation can be a sign of a more serious condition. So if you’re experiencing this problem frequently, see your doctor to rule those issues out.
But, more often than not, constipation is a sign that you’re simply not eating right. Those factors can be easily remedied with a whole-food diet and a few key supplements to help move things along.
Psyllium husk
Psyllium husk is a great natural product to keep on hand if you’re prone to constipation. It’s essentially a SUPER-FIBER that absorbs water from your gut, softens stool, and makes it easier to pass.
If you take psyllium husk, drink plenty of water to avoid making the problem worse.
Magnesium
Magnesium citrate attacks constipation from a different angle. It relaxes the muscles in your intestines, promoting a bowel movement.
One study found that magnesium supplements effectively relieved constipation in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Probiotics
Boosting your gut microbiome is vital for healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. And probiotics are the gold standard for improving gut health.
You can get probiotics through foods like kefir and yogurt or a quality probiotic supplement.
Like magnesium, probiotic supplementation boosts bowel movements in people with constipation-predominant IBS.
Aloe Vera
When you use aloe vera topically, it soothes and moisturizes your skin. But when you use it as a supplement, it soothes your insides.
The plant extract has natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation and bloating.
Aloe Vera also increases the speed at which food moves through your digestive system battling back against constipation.
One animal study showed that aloe leaf extract improved intestinal motility and increased stool volume.
Ground flaxseed
Ground flaxseed is another excellent source of fiber. It can be added to smoothies, yogurt, or even your morning coffee.
Studies show a daily dose of ground flaxseed can improve stool consistency and increase bowel movements.
