Stool difficulties

Hi Ukgamal. Bowels are a problem for most of us. I do have to digitally remove my stool. But to remove my stool, it still has to move through the intestine and arrive down to the anal area. I use an herbal laxative called Cascara Sagrada. I buy it in capsules. I take two capsules about every-other-day. Another thing that can give intestinal problems is parasites. Parasites can cause blockages. To kill my parasites, I take the herbs wormwood, cloves, and green black walnut hull tincture. Or, sometimes I take quassia powder.

As a general laxative, eat prunes or drink prune juice, eat a few boilled okra pods, drink tamarind juice or eat the flesh of the pods, or take senna.

In addition to Vintage's advice, you might also want to try a cup of warm prune juice with a dollop of butter. Very low tech but pretty successful after a few hours.
