Bowel Movements


Recommended Posts

Ohhhhhhhhh...... well darn, then I have a whole different set of suggestions.

First off, iron is a natural constipator I believe so you may want to leave that alone! Also stay away from Bananas. Colace is a laxative so you don't want to go that route if you are just wanting to encourage a bowel movement. You may end up with diarhea. And you should check with the doctor before attempting a laxative.

Choose foods that are naturally high in fiber to promote good bowel health. Also try apples, apples, apples. Also drink lots of water.

Some band friendly suggestions.....

Fruits:

berries such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries

oranges, apples and pear

Vegetables:

broccoli, spinach, swiss chard and green peas

dried peas and beans such as kidney beans, lima beans, black-eyed beans, chick peas and lentils

flaxseed (grind them and mix them into any food, mashed potatos are best)

Jenna thanks so much...I misunderstood the info I got from the other board about iron,so I know to stay away from that, and since colase involves a tube (LOL) Im staying away from that too!

I will try the extra fiber to see if it makes a difference... thanks for the specifics on the fruits and veggies... Kyle
