I have ALWAYS been extremely constipated. Weeks at a time

find the best gastroenterologist in your area (most will have no idea)- you probably have clostridia bacteria in your bowel- this requires antibiotics to treat

Hi It could be the cause of H Pylori. I too suffered from severe constipation and bloating from as long as I could remember to the point that it escallated over two years sgo and I dreaded visiting the toilet because I would force till my legs cramped and would not have a bowel movement. I exercised, drank water, ate fruits, took high fibres, drank prune juice, but nothing seemed to free me of this curse. I knew something was terribly wrong and thought I had a twisted bowel. I met a new doctor in Jan 2012 and I was diagnosed positive for H-Pylori through a blood test. I took my medications as prescribed (clarithromycin, amoxicillin and omeprazole). I completed the treatment in March. Since then I have a daily bowel movement and I am feeling great.

Just sharing my experience since I understand the pain you are enduring and wish the best for you.

HI, MY WIFE HAS HAD TROUBLE WITH BOWEL MOMENTS SINCE SHE WAS A TEEN. ONLY GOING EVERY 2 OR 3 DAYS. SHE HAD DOCTORS TELLING HER THE SAME THING. DRINK LOTS OF WATER, EAT LOTS OF FIBER. USE METAMUCIL AND CITRACEL AND THEY ONLY WORKED FOR A WEEK OR SO. SHE ALSO HAD TERRIBLE ALLERGIES FROM THE ENVIRONMENT. SHE FOUND AN HERBAL DOCTOR AND HE GAVE HER A PRODUCT OF NATURE'S SUNSHINE CALLED LBS II. SHE TOOK 3 OR 4 A DAY AND HER BOWELS STARTED WORKING 2-3 TIMES A DAY. WITHIN 6 MONTHS HER ALLERGIES ALSO WENT AWAY. SHE'S BEEN USING ONLY THAT PRODUCT FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS AND ONLY TAKES 1 OR 2 A DAY AND HER BOWELS HAVE BEEN WORKING FINE EVER SINCE. IT DOESN'T NOT CONTAIN SENNA WHICH IS A HARSE EXLAX TYPE DRUGS WHICH HAS BAD SIDE AFFECTS. YOU CAN BUY THE PRODUCT AT HERBAL STORES. NATURE'S SUNSHINE IS THE ONLY ONE I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT SUCCESS. FOLLOW THIS AND YOU WILL HAVE RELIEF WITHIN THE WEEK AND FROM NOW ON. I'M NOT A SALESMAN OF THIS PRODUCT BUT A FIRM BELIEVER IN NATURAL MEDICINES!! BILL

stop shouting

Senna is not a drug, it's an herb. It grows from the earth. You can also buy it at herbal stores.... just fyi
