...one of the big factors in stool softness and colonic motility. As a side-note, I've noticed many times over the years that milk causes constipation worsening in me very reliably. Nothing dries out my stool and stops things moving like milk does. It's the worst. And, I found a study...

Hi guys, I don't really have digestive issues. Bloating is pretty rare, no gas at all, no pain (expect with a few foods - including Salmon! [need to re-check this one]), etc. However, I can't go to the toilet on a daily basis. I may go there for 5 days in a row, but eventually I get...

You can look at my post history and see that chronic constipation has been a problem for me my whole life, even before I got sick. But getting sick put it off the chart. That being said, I really have gotten relief the last few months. Here's what I'm doing: 6:30 am: 1. Brush teeth...

Hi, Google returns very few hits for the above side effects from l-methylfolate but I was wondering if anyone else out there gets them too. To be clear, I was already constipated (I have IBS-C) and already had dry eyes (from Provigil) but both have worsened significantly, seemingly since...
