Hello J,

I was compelled to give you my experience when I read your message. I have used laxatives for 15-20 years most days. I have seen many natural practitioners about it. I have been eating mostly raw for about 2 years with no difference to my constipation. A homeopath suggested colonics about a year ago and I baulked at the idea. Very phobic about anything that requires intervention or medical in any way. In desperation I worked myself up to a colonics appointment and in fact nearly ran out of the first appointment.

After the very first appointment I havent taken a single laxative. That was about 2 months ago. Normally I never went for perhaps about 2 days without taking something because of the pain I would get.

Now I know that my raw food lifestyle, smoothies etc, actually does support regular bowel movements. Whatever the blockage was the colonics have helped.

I now am not dependent on laxatives. Many foods still can make it difficult to use the toilet (I mean foods in their natural state, eg cherries, plums, grapes etc)but Im sure given time that my gut will make the bacteria required to be able to eat all foods in their natural state.

I hope this helps to give you some insight
Donna
