Title: Emptying the Bowels
Post by: achillezzz on March 05, 2012, 08:19:49 am
Whenever I wanted to empty my bowels I used to take 1000mg magneisum oxide before sleep and when I woke up
I usually had all my solid bowel content out of me and felt empty as heaven.. Now it just doesnt work anymore. why is that??

I am not interested in stripin everything in my intestinse with some bowel cleanser nor use enema and blow diarhea every 5 minutes..

All I want is the same effect I had with magnesium oxide. why it doesnt work anymore?

I am not by any means depended on this supplement for bowel movements I have solid bowel movements each and everyday its just that the body tends to always store atleast 1meal inside of its colon..

And I like fasting when its totally empty..

I heard chelated magnesium worth a try, what do you think?

If you are regular you should have a gastrocolic reflex to filling your stomach with water, so you should be empty after a few days of fasting. After a few days an enema will take care of what is left.

Warm water enema should be enough to empty bowels during fasting.

Personally, I'd rather not use any tools, I'd rather eat a ton of coconut meat and let my bowels do the job.

Goodsamaritan so you say tons of coconut meat stimulate a cleansing response by your bowels?

I have my own way of doing it. If I eat cooked food and have a reaction I take some triphala. I have amy own brand which is very high quality unlike the low grade stuff you get in Indian corner stores or health food stores.

Another way of cleaning out very gently, is to take one or two teaspoons of Castor oil before bedtime. In the AM you will have a normal movement which may be softer than usual. You can do this as many days as you wish. It will not harm you. Not sure I would get carried away with it. The taste will prevent that anyways.  ;D

I am presenting other choices BTW, I am not advocating for one method or another.

The coconut meat I eat are young coconut meat, with hard jelly like hardness.

The hard coconut for making coconut milk is different.  Too much of raw coconut milk may give you a day or two of diarrhea or tummy ache. (more than 1/4 of a glass is bad for me.)

Glycerine works nicely.

Try it.
