Cure for Constipation! (med induced or otherwise)

Posted by Peter S on August 19, 2000, at 23:36:25

Hi Folks,
I have been taking Nardil, which was making me totally miserable. I tried all sorts of laxatives, fiber, prune juice, bran, metamucil etc. I was ready to quit when someone I know came back from England and heard about flax seeds. I have been taking them once a day; about 3 teaspoons in my cereal and they really work! They actually taste good. From my experience they should be soaked in the milk and then chewed thoroughly. I don't understand why most doctors in the US have never heard of this. Flax has been used for this purpose for thousands of years.
Anyway I'll get off my podium- it just seems that constipation is one common side effect of many psychiatric meds. I'd be interested in other's experiences.
Thanks
Peter
