advice for gut issues/constipation
-
@happyhanneke i have this. how much do you take at a time? i worry to use it all the time. I took 1/4 tsp today evening hoping it helps by tmrw morning. for some reason… some times it helps… but there are times it hasn’t. Ive tried 1/8 the past 2 days with no luck but that used to help before.

@Tarzan17 Taking it every now and then doesn't work I think. I take it 3X a day. The amount you have to find out for yourself. If I take it consistently I only take maybe 1/4 teaspoon or less.
-
@happyhanneke oh okay. how long have you been doing this? do you ever stop taking it?
-
@Tarzan17
maybe 2 months. I'm not worried about it. Maybe I will stop. For now I really like it and it gives me easy 2 bowel movements a day. No loose stools either.
I used to have colitis and basically am cured but it turned into constipation. I'm not doing well with any other products, it usually turns into a colitis flare up. This does not. -

I like the idea of taking very small amounts. Do you take this between meals?
-
@Tarzan17 have you considered the precurosr to glycine and collagen, Threonine?

Usually after my meal but I don't overthink it. Sometimes I forget and just take it in between meals.

Interesting that either way works for you. Thanks for the detail.

@Mossy I think you should try it 3X daily for a while and see if you improve. If it doesn't then up the dosage. That's how I did it and it worked very well. It takes a bit before you get regular.

I think that is a good approach. I will probably start with the 1/8th tsp, as I have the most sensitive and disagreeable system I know.
