HLC Intensive, Cascara Sagrada, and Psyllium not easing my constipation. Suggestions?

Q. I am having trouble with constipation. I have been taking HLC Intensive Probiotic for about a month. I am also taking the laxative herb Cascara Sagrada. This problem has been getting worse and I wonder what you could suggest. Psyllium products seem to irritate this condition.

A.

• Change to HLC High Potency Probiotics (powder or capsules), to help with colonization of good bacteria. The FOS has a natural laxative effect in higher doses.
• Ensure you are eating lots of fibrous foods like broccoli, salads, almonds, greens, etc.
• Try GI Revive by DFH. It is very helpful for creating a healthier GI—works on mucosal cells and tissue.

Just mix a teaspoon with water! Tastes like peach tea.
