Re: constipation

I have been noting how many people suffer with bouts of constipation and
wanted to share an "old wives" remedy that has had great success with
others who have suffered with this. 1/4 cup all bran cereal, 1/4 cup
Uncle Sams cereal, mixed with any cereal of your choice. The "secret"
ingredient that makes this work is the flax seed in the Uncle Sams
cereal. Please turn the Uncle Sams cereal up and down several times as
the flax seeds tend to settle on the bottom. I got this from an old
country Dr. and have passed it on to 5 people I knew who had suffered
with constipation most of their lives. It honestly worked for them.
Hope this gives just one person some relief.
Thank you to all the people who wrote to welcome me to the adhesion
board. It is so great to have other people to talk to who suffer with
the same thing!
Sincerely,

I'm so computer stupid but have been getting some help from you all with
that. My story is on the quilt.

Funny you should bring it up as I have been wondering the same thing lately.
I started having arthritic type pain in both hands and a knee out of the blue. Never had it before and it all started at the same time.
When I first had surgery 5 years ago to remove necrotic bowel, they asked if I had ever had pain in my joints then. I have no idea what the link could be, but anyone else out there? Maybe we are on to something.
By the way, my name is Deb, Ive been reading the message board since I found it 8 months ago. From all of your stories and experiences, I was able to tell my Dr. what was wrong with me and get the pain meds I needed to return to life. Thanks to all of you. I put my story on the quilt also. Big hello to my new friends.
Gentle hugs, Deb
