Hi,
I have been taking Irene's and Tamaque's approach for years. But the feeling that I am blocked up remains. Since I did that 24 day water fast, I am much more physically conscious of feeling blocked up in my gut. After the fast and during the fast I did not have that problem. Since I am now eating a lot less, but pretty normally, I feel really like my bowel movements are ineffective. I think the sensitivity is a good outcome of the fast. I think I found out what it feels like to not feel toxic and now, getting blocked again I am really disliking the feeling. It is not a matter of being physically worse because of the fast.
I wrote about a book that I read about constipation. I put it on my blog. Called caringVibes.blogspot.com.tw
According to a GI Doc, diarrhea is a form of constipation. You know all know that. But he says, natural fibers and laxatives will produce, gas, pain and diarrhea if you are severely blocked up. That's me. You have to unblock totally and then gradually introduce the natural stuff. Then you have to take those fibers really dillegently to stay unblocked until you build up muscle strength in the intestines.
If you use natural fibers when you are severely blocked up, you will get those nasty symptoms with heavy doses of a natural good laxative like magnesium. Roger Bird is doing the magnesium through his skin just because his intestines are too blocked to handle the magnesium directly in the gut. I am taking the natural fibers and magnesium 2 times a day which is more than I usually do and I got gas. Have never had gas before, but that is the reaction that the GI Doc predicts. Drinking veggie juices, making green smoothies and still feel rotten.
I am traveling now (my worst condition for constipation) and I brought a mix of magnesium citrate, calcium, flax seed ground and psyllium. My normal use is as needed.
This doc says open up the gut first. Unblock and get a stool flow going so that the muscles can train themselves to work. They are stretched and lax because of the bloating. That means you take a steady flow of fibers.
Yes Irene, he says fibers will cause more backlash if you are already really blocked. Most people are, they are just in denial or insensitive to their toxic state. Everyone is very discouraged by the gut backlash.
The catch is this Doc's GI unblocking program, is he is advocating use of chemically treated fiber that the gut does not recognize as fibers and therefore cannot dissolve them. The gut learns to disolve these intruders within 6 months. Apparently just using these artificial fibers will start the gut bacteria to evolve so it can dissolve them.
If you read the end of this page of responses to his reply (below)

to someone who had been using an artificial fiber and then tried taking it again with his program and failed, you will see a very negative reply. I copied it below.
"Your review was the reason why I didn't get this book as I now believe it to be extremely unhealthy and more importantly damaging to anybody. It gave me an option to see the suggested elements of the program. "Sugar free" means that the product includes an artificial carcinogenic sweetener. Secondly Citrucel is a dangerous food additive E461 processed with poisonous sodium hydroxide. Thirdly Benefiber is the only fiber supplement made with genetically modified wheat dextrine, wheat that is the leading cause of obesity and body pollution in the world today. Thank you!"
I am not sure which is worse. A toxic gut or the food additives etc. Someone like me would be using the artificial stuff for a few weeks.
