Has anyone used Smooth Move Tea for Constipation? It was recommended to me but then I was warned about cramps that senna can cause... I'm curious to see what contrasting opinions I get... I like the idea of using something more natural rather than my current Miralax/Colace cocktail...

I've used senna and had no cramps. I think as long as you don't make a habit out if it, it's not bad for you.

I occasionally use Smooth Move tea. It does not give me cramps. You only need to drink one cup and you will go that day or the next.

I also really like Natural Vitality Calm raspberry lemon magnesium supplement. You mix 2 teaspoons in Water. I like heating up 3 ounces Water and adding it.

I use Smooth Move if it's been at least three days since my last BM. I am 6 months post op. I use it maybe once every three or four weeks. I make a cup just prior to going to bed. I have always had relief within an hour of waking. No cramps and I've never had it not work. But you will need to be able to repeatedly get to a bathroom quickly for a few hours. Good luck!

I use Laci Lebeau tea, Miralax, colace and milk of magnesia.

Good! Glad you have a cocktail that works. Constipation has been a real issue.

Used Smooth Move in the past with no issues. Something else I have found is that when I consistently have a Greek yogurt just before bed I stay regular also.

I've use Smooth Move as well when I can't stomach the thought of my Milk of Magnesia. MoM gets me moving a lot better, but Smooth Move is better for you.

I just found out about Natural Calm magnesium supplement. It was recommended to me for Constipation. After weeks and weeks and weeks of very uncomfortable, painful, and stressful constipation, I have found the holy grail! I use one heaping teaspoonful every other night, and I stay regular. If not, I up the dosage. Try it! I hope it works for you too!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
