i heard my relative comment that it is bad for your eyesis this true?
I agree with still_crColace IS a great stool softener but definitely talk to your doc firstDon't eat apples or bananas because those could bind youCut up some green peppers and bring 'em with youSometimes the citrus of an orange will helpCoffee, usually caffeinated at least half caff, should helpThe water should be helping tooTake a little baggie of high fiber cereal with you and munch on thatKellog's mini wheats maybe or you just kind of have to look aroundgood luck
Medications which might be risk-free in the course of being pregnant to alleviate constipation are: Metamucil, Fibercon, Colace or D.O.SIf the constipation is extreme then Milk of Magnesia, a moderate laxative, can be usedI for my part drink extra water and devour raisins or prunes to check out to alleviate the constipation earlier than I hotel to a cure.
prunes are the best at relieving this but if it is making you vomit I understand not wanting to do itIncrease your fiber intakeMy boyfriend told me that oatmeal is good tooIf you can suck it, try a shot of prune juiceIt sucks but it gets things flowing.
Eat high-fiber foods such as cereals, whole-grain breads, and fresh fruits and vegetables every dayAdd a couple of tablespoons of unprocessed wheat bran (available at health food stores) to your cereal in the morning and follow it with a glass of water Drink plenty of water — at least six to eight glasses a dayA glass of fruit juice every day, especially prune juice, can also be helpful Exercise regularlyWalking, swimming, riding on a stationary bike, and yoga can all help ease constipation and leave you feeling more fit and healthy Listen to your bodyNever put off going to the bathroom when you feel the urge Ask your health care provider about taking an over-the-counter fiber supplement or switching to an iron supplement.
Chicory is an herb related to endiveAfter a little research, it seems to me that it would be beneficial for your eyes because it is a good source of vitamin cIt is an excellent source of: Potassium (756mg), Vitamin C (43mg), Folate (197mcg), and Vitamin A (7,200 IU) It is also a good source of inulin (soluble fiber)I'm just not seeing anything about chicory that indicates any riskBut, if you're worried then you could probably do without chicory in your diet at all since in all likelihood does not constitute a significant portion of your intake anywayPersonally, I would keep eating/drinking it: I like the way it tastes.
