constipation
i am 39 yr old woman. have had good health but for the last 6-10 months have been suffering from chronic constipation.i have always had a problem with this but recently i fasted for 10 days to help, which it did. i was gaining weight around the stomach area and felt constantly full, bloated and uncomfortable. have had the feeling of distended intestines. only going to the bathroom when something was being pushed out because i was so full. during the fast i drank smooth move tea during the night and ocassionally drank a salt water flush in the am apon waking. i felt great. i thought it really helped and the full feeling was gone and my stomach didnt feel bloated or extended. i have also had felt the need to over eat at night which this helped for a while. its been about 2 weeks since the fast and now i feel like i can only have a movement when i drink some smooth move tea(natural laxitive tea). its been 5 days since my last movement and the full, bloated and extended intestinal feeling is back. help!ps. i dont smoke. my husband eats allot of red meat and my diet has been not so great.. eating big meals and red meat 3-5x a week where as before i met him i ate red meat maybe once a week, sometimes allot less.

10M is a very high potency and should not be taken especially when the full case has not been taken.
Be careful.
