Question: I have had difficulties with my colon, constipation being the first and foremost. What can I do to alleviate the constipation? This is relatively new for me. Thank you.

Answer: We are sorry to hear about your colon constipation troubles. If it is a new symptom that is painful or is not relieved by one of the following methods you should consult your doctor to make sure there is not a physical problem that needs to be addressed.

There are many tried and true remedies to alleviating constipation and these include:

• Drinking Salt Water (up to one quart daily)
• Eating high fiber foods (prunes, figs, bran)
• Using an enema to promote a bowel movement
• using an over the counter laxative medication

For constipation that is not recurrent the above mentioned remedies are likely to give you relief. If you have chronic constipation you should definitely consider both adjusting your diet and taking an herbal supplement such as Colonix.

Adjusting your diet is simple enough to do. Add foods with more fiber and cut out fast food and junk food. For a list of high fiber foods ask your dietitian or just look on the web. Fresh fruits and veggies are a good place to begin.

The herbal supplement Colonix will cleanse the colon and help it to work more efficiently which can reduce the bouts of constipation many people experience.

We hope we have answered your question regarding colon constipation, but if you have further questions feel free to ask.
