Digestive problems and bowel issues, including diarrhea, can be a source of concern and frustration for Truehope participants. Many factors cause these conditions, including diet, genetics, over-use of laxatives or diarrhea medication, or simply the use of many different types of prescription medications.
Whatever the cause, here are 3 suggestions to help you cope:
- We have found that our calcium supplement, Truehope BMD, works extremely well for most types of diarrhea. Take 2 tablets 3 to 6 times daily on an empty stomach, and drink plenty of water.
- Some people also experience relief using digestive enzymes (found at your local health food store).
- Eating foods like green bananas, cheddar cheese, peanut butter, mangoes, papayas, and applesauce can also help. Stay away from most dairy products (some cheese and yogurt can be tolerated), high fat foods, extremely high fibre foods (fibre can worsen diarrhea), and caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, and colas). Always drink plenty of water.
If you’re using EMPowerplus and you have consistent diarrhea, then much of what you’re taking is flushed out with the diarrhea. Your body cannot effectively use what it cannot keep in the digestive system. Controlling diarrhea will allow your body to properly absorb EMPowerplus.
