I have had good luck with refrigerated acidophilus with bifidus a couple of hours in the morning before coffee or food. It works good on my little dog too. My holistic chiropractor recommended it to my young son, years ago, for a yeast overgrowth from antibiotics. She stress the combo of the two (bifidus + acidophilus) is necessary. Also fresh mango alone works well too.

Also reduce your liquids. I don't even drink water. Vitamin C is really be helpful too!

Thank you! I will try the mango.I also take a probiotic that has those two strains of bacteria,but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Pineapple can be effective. Dates can too, if the fiber isn't harsh on your gut.

The acidophilus bifidus didn't do anything for me eithe the last 20 years with just taking it during the day. Only recently when I started taking it early in the morning a couple of hours before waking up did it do wonders.

You're welcome. Cascara sagrada is one of the safest laxatives, since it's also anti- inflammatory and lowers cortisol, so you could use that instead of senna. Some people make cascara into a tea, and filter out the solids. Ray's article on cascara: Cascara, energy, cancer and the FDA's laxative abuse.
