Are These Medications Causing Your Constipation? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Oftentimes patients come to me with several symptoms that I can trace back to the medications they are taking. Both prescription and over the counter. If you're taking any form of medication it could very likely be affecting your bowels and be partly responsible for your constipation. In fact, many off-the-shelf concoctions, such as stomach antacids, contain a hard ore that will most definitely dry up your stool – making it difficult for you to go. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs contain constipating ingredients as well. And, of course, constipation is probably not the only side effect you're experiencing from these drugs. But, even if it was, that would be enough to make you want to switch, reduce or eliminate them. As we've already discussed, constipation can easily lead to serious bowel problems and liver issues. My first suggestion, of course, would be to book an appointment with your local, licensed Naturopathic Doctor and start receiving natural treatments for the condition that requires you to be on medication. There are so many naturopathic treatment options available for a variety of conditions that you probably aren't aware of. So if your medical doctor put you on a medication saying you don't have a choice, seek naturopathic help and learn about safer, alternative options. Notwithstanding, simply adjusting your diet, exercising more and taking specific herbal remedies may be all you need to get off expensive and toxic medication. The other possibility is reducing your current doses of medication. This is something you'll want to do under the supervision of your medical doctor. For example, you may find HALF the recommended dosage will produce the same results, with more than half of the negative side-effects. Women tend to benefit from reducing dosages more than men because their bodies tend to be smaller and metabolism slower. The "recommended" dose for your pharmaceutical drug is far too general to apply to all the different sizes and shapes of people on this planet. You need to find a dose that does the job, without taking any excess. Now, here's the interesting thing... It's quite possible that by... Treating Your Constipation, You Won't Need Some or All The Medication You're Currently TakingHigh blood pressure and high cholesterol, for example, are often caused by an unnatural diet and lack of exercise. These two factors are also the cause of most people's constipation. Naturopathic medicine, unlike conventional medicine, looks at the body as a whole. In most cases, one problem is often related to the other. Another example... If you're taking anti-inflammatory drugs to deal with pain, you may find reducing or eliminating meat and saturated fats will make you feel so good you can drop your prescription. Likewise, by reducing the meat in your diet and eating more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits, you'll reduce your constipation. And your constipation will also be reduced because you are not taking the anti-inflammatory drugs anymore.

Over the last 12 years Dr. Karlo Mauro has helped thousands of patients with their gastro-intestinal issues. He works out of his clinic near Windsor, Ontario on the border to Detroit. For more information on his naturopathic practice, go to www.theNaturopath.ca. In 1992 Dr. Mauro began training in the martial art of Aikido Yoshinkai. In 2003, he earned a 3rd degree black belt. It was Aikido that originally opened his eyes to living a more natural lifestyle -- staying more balanced physically and mentally. In 1995, he began receiving help from a Naturopathic Doctor for some digestive trouble he was experiencing. This first introduction to natural medicine resulted in him meeting other Naturopathic Doctors and finally making a life-changing decision. Despite the fact he had just completed 6 years of university, including a Masters degree in Education, Dr. Mauro abandoned his teaching career, entered Naturopathic College, emerging four years later an ND. Dr. Mauro lives in Windsor, Ontario with his wife Natalia, son Alek and daughter Ella. When he's not at the clinic, he's either watching Alek play golf, watching Ella in gymnastics class or coaching Alek's soccer team.Though he's helped patients with a wide variety of disorders, he's found the most success helping people with gut trouble. "I like the fact it's so easy to see an improvement," he says. "If you're constipated, only going once a week, and you start going everyday, you KNOW you're getting better."
Sometimes, even if you are going once a day, it's difficult because your stools are too hard and dry. Ideally you want your stools to be about the consistency of a ripe banana. Anything looser or thinner is undesirable. One of the problems with laxatives is that they don't produce this banana-like quality. Instead they bring on diarrhea. Diarrhea is dehydrating and depleting of valuable nutrients (such as potassium and sodium). Dr. Mauro's 7-part email series and his collection of 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women help produce this ideal consistency because they help you retrain your bowels to work properly. When your colon is in good health, it will naturally make sure your stools are neither too dry nor too hard.
Are you confused about how much you should be eating? Do you feel like you're already full after your first bite of food? It's no wonder," says Dr. Mauro, "that so many women suffer eating disorders. If you're not evacuating, it's hard to make room for more food. If waste can't find its way down and out, it's going to make your stomach bulge outward and upward. In fact, your colon can expand three times its regular size (along with your stomach). The secret to a normal appetite is making sure you are emptying your bowels every 24 hours." You should have no problem achieving one or two bowel movements a day, if you make the simple changes outlined in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women. This should happen in less than 30 days of using these strategies. Some medical doctors will prescribe birth control drugs to help with constipation. They believe this will help balance the hormones. Like most synthetic hormones, birth control pills come with complications. Many women experience breakthrough bleeding, decreased appetite, depression, headaches, low libido, urinary tract infection, skin problems, gum inflammation. They also have an increased risk of contracting viral diseases. Considering all the risks, is this really a good way to "balance your hormones?" Especially when natural methods may produce far superior (and economical) results... Oftentimes hormonal imbalance is caused by a high consumption of white flour and sugary foods. These same foods turn into a glue-like substance that further clogs up your bowels. By following the natural remedies and lifestyle changes in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women, you'll be helping to bring your hormones into balance, naturally. Likewise, getting your bowels moving will stop toxins from backing up into your bloodstream, which will further knock your hormones out of whack. "Many medical experts today agree that most illness begins in the colon and that the colon may be the single most critical organ in the body. As the colon becomes a stagnant cesspool, failing to move the poisons from food waste out of the body on a regular basis, the toxins back up. "It is estimated that there are 36 different poisons that come from the colon, and as these accumulate in the bowel over a period of weeks, months or often years, they spread into your liver, gallbladder and other organs; into your blood; into your tissues and finally into your cells." -- Women's Menopause Health Newsletter, October 2007 "A lot of elderly people are taking senna," explains Dr. Mauro. "It's an herb that causes your colon to flush itself out. Many people must drink it as a tea everyday in order to keep on going. The nerves and muscles in their colon are totally zapped and dependent on the stuff. It's a nightmare trying to get them off it." Senna is one of the few herbs medical doctors prescribe. Unfortunately, it's harmful to use on a daily basis. Once a week as part of a colon cleanse is okay, but more frequently is impairing. The effects of senna can be fairly drastic," explains Dr. Mauro. "They tend to flush out too much of the healthy bacteria. It's like having diarrhea. It's dehydrating and depleting of your electrolytes (potassium and sodium)." I don't know about you but I don't want to be dependent on an herb to make me go. Worse still, you have little control over your bowel movements. You go when the herb is ready to make you go. There's not much warning. That's fine if you're 80 and don't leave home. That's not great when you're on your way to soccer practice to pick up the kids. Senna is also dangerous for people with high blood pressure, kidney problems or edema. Healing and strengthening your colon so it can function on its own, as described in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies For Women, is the way to go. Over 4 million Americans, each year, are affected by constipation, according to the The National Institute of Health. That works out to about 2.5 million doctor visits and $725 million in over-the-counter laxatives. The majority of those visits and purchases are by women. As you can see, there's a lot of money in keeping people constipated and reliant on laxatives. No wonder Dr. Mauro's 37 Constipation Relief Strategies are not more well known. Digestive disorders account for the largest amount of lost time from work; they are the number one cause of disability absence; they comprise one-sixth of all hospital admissions. It is acknowledged by conventional medicine that at least 40 percent of all cancers originate in the gastrointestinal tract. Many alternative practitioners would say the number is much higher." — Women's Menopause Health Center Newsletter , October 2007 "And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material." — Martin Zucker, "[Toxic waste that built up in the colon turns into] a sinister world of monstrous creatures that feed on living flesh: parasites..." "In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history." Find out how to kick parasites out of your colon in Strategy 33, on page 35, of 37 Constipation Relief Strategies For Women.
