No more Constipation for me

okra, slice, vegetable
Philippines
November 29, 2018 9:23pm CST
I've struggled with this problem for as long as I know. I was able to solve it with a smoothie. But fruits were sometimes expensive and takes time with the blender. But one time I drank the liquid from the sliced okra that I boiled. Hours later I didn't have problem dumping I remove the seeds (to avoid gout), sliced and then boils them..Then I add it to my instant soup with the hot liquid on it. The picture will be upload later. I eat at least five sliced pieces per day. Of course I add a table spoon of moringa powder for more vitamins. Have a nice day

Moringa leaf in any form, spinach or three to five servings of veggies everyday keep constipation away. Fruits too do the job effectively.

Hello @sofssu There are times that I buy fruits but not everyday. And okra is very cheap to buy.

@sofssu Though it's the same amount as the okra on the market, sometimes they're not available. other times they look dry.

A great help is prune juice.

Hello @RasmaSandra well, not all of us can afford a prune juice and i don't even know if it's available in our malls. I bet it's expensive too.

@Letranknight2015 Perhaps I do not know the prices in your country but this should give you an idea. Because prune juice really helps regulate.

Leafy vegetables can help you to overcome this problem. Drink warm water in morning (4 glasses on empty stomach) then one glass of warm water before going to bed will also helps.

I have not had a problem with this for many years. But I remember having a problem with this when I was a kid and somewhat into my adult years. It was no Bueno. Very unpleasant. It is rare I miss a day anymore. But it does happen. If I go more than two days without going I take a physic.

@porwest same here. I get angry with other people knocking the door and wants to relieves themselves. one time one of her friends knew the key and went in. But I was having constipation and didn't come out for hours. I was really upset they use the opportunity to use our home as a public toilet.

I am glad you have solved your problem. Fiber is the answer and you are getting it from the okra.

Hello @arunima25 moringa didn't work that much as help with constipation unless there's a larger dosage. But with okra it was only four to five pieces.

Hello @ethal2018 yes it was so cheap and good for my health.

Any leafy greans tend to do the trick; especially in liquid form. I like to use wheat grass and spinach...maybe some kale too. It'll definitely clean you out and keep those bowls healthy. My gf uses a veggie powder that comes pre-made too.

I'm not so sure if I would like the taste of that although I love okra, I usually eat ripe papaya and drink cold water in the morning when that happens to me

My wife has this problem. She gets a medicine called sodium picosulphate from her doctor. Works like magic!
