Constipation

So, have been doing enemas for a few months before seeing Matia because that is what my old doc was having me do, coffee enema. I am not going on my own now.  Not that I did much even before I got sick, but I just KNOW there are a ton on toxins that need to come out cause I am waking up with headaches, hurting throat intestine pain.  I have eaten and drank the water from, a ton of cabbage, broccoli, a ton of water, and exercised.  I have not gone since Tuesday, ( I only went then because I broke down and did an enema.  

What I don't understand is when I eat crappy (before Matia), I went at least every other day and they were healthy looking, now they are like little pebbles and NOT healthy..if I even go even though I am not eating the refined crap that causes constipation..so confusing!

So, how long did it take you all to get healthy bowels, I am on a probiotc 3 times a day, but I am taking it at the same time as goldenseal, and I thought that would cancel out the effect. Matia said it would still work though.

Anyone else have a trick to make yourself go? I REALLY want to do a warm water enema today..but I know its a no no.

Talked about it on the call.  Enemas bad.  Twin Labs Magnesium Good:)  But ask her first.

The magnesium was not suposed to be. used all the time though b/c its a laxitive and your body would begin to depend on it. It's really important to get enough raw veggies in there. Some people are helped my raw cabbage for me I think celery and spinage works best it doesn't make me bloated and still relief. I am also finding the decaf green tea to be helpful for those of you who can tolerat that. It's really important to work with her on it I know having a BM can be a full time job for some. If I don't do everything I don't go like walking yoga eating the raw foods drinking enough water and having my tea.
The reason she said no to the enemas is not only because it does weaken the body's internal muscles from doing the work itself it becomes dependent on them too. It also strips your : electrolytes
most of us are allready dehydrated and doin this can be very dangerous.

My bowels have totally shut down lately, I am not frustrated I did all those enemas.  I took one magnesium last night, and still nothing special came today.  I need SOO much help there.  Green tea in the past as caused me to flare, but I have never tried decaf.  I will have to look into that when I am off of list one.  the veges have been making me so bloated.  I am eating A TON, and I just get more and more backed up.  Thanks for the great advice, I am so glad some old timers still come on here!
