I ask Racer because I have alot of experience and one of the best and easiest on your system is magnesium some people say they can't take it but the dosage is 1000 mg. Not only does it help constipation initally but it calms the central nervous system overall and aids in sleep which you also said you have problems with. Since you have the constipation problems then the 1000 mg. to start would be the best. My friend that is a doctor and nutrional supplementals are her secondary interest has had alot of people helped with this one. She said that mag has the least side effects so she likes it for that reason, There is another product I have found helpful too but I would only recommended if you don't get relief with maybe the mag first. If the 1000 mg isnt enough go up by 500. Some people might argue but I have found it to be very helpful. Now eventually your body will stabilze to the mag so the effects might go away. Another weird suggestion I heard at the ER was one 12 oz of dr pepper a day until regular. This was told by a ER doctor to a patient and when I questioned him he verified it. He stated that dr pepper does have enough prune juice in it to do the trick. Here are two suggestions. I like supplements if they work. I have a severe collitis issue and was told by my gastro specialist I would be on medication the rest of my life and I didn't like it as it had too many side effects. So I found something, a supplement that is working well. That is why I asked you. I would give the mag a try, I use magnesium oxide from a company called Nutraceutical Sciences Institute at www.gonsi.com or 800-776-2887. Their products are excellent and my friend the doctor/supplement specialist agrees. I order online. Let me know what you think. rk
