What is constipation?

Intestinal constipation is a problem familiar to many.
Most often, children, the elderly and pregnant women suffer from stool disorders. The blockage of feces can be acute or become chronic. In order to effectively and without harm to health restore the normal frequency of bowel movements, it is important to know everything about the causes and mechanism of constipation. Constipation is a violation of the bowel movement process, which consists of increasing the intervals between bowel movements or systematically insufficient bowel movements. Doctors agree that when diagnosing constipation, not only the frequency of bowel movements is important. For example, researchers Shulpekova and Ivashkin point out that “constipation should also be considered difficulty in defecation (while maintaining normal stool frequency)” (Shulpekova Yu. O., Ivashkin V. T., 2004, p. 49).

What do we mean by difficulty in defecation? There are several criteria:+

• the need to strain for at least ¼ of the entire time of defecation;
• feeling of incomplete bowel movement;
• dense consistency of stool, bean-shaped stool;
• need for manual assistance.

Constipation can be acute or chronic. They speak of chronic when symptoms appeared at least six months before diagnosis and persist for at least 3 months.

Some experts believe that the normal frequency of bowel movements can vary and be individual in each case - from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. However, a number of doctors are of the opinion that with sufficient nutrition, bowel movements should occur daily: in the morning, soon after waking up, and only this can be considered the norm.

In any case, to determine the presence of constipation, it is important to pay attention to how often the stool was previously - any deterioration or change may indicate developing acute constipation.

To develop a treatment strategy for constipation, it is important to understand the causes of its occurrence.

Causes of constipation

Constipation of the intestine often occurs when it is overloaded.

The following factors have a negative impact on the functional activity of the digestive organ: +

• unhealthy diet - consumption of large amounts of processed foods, fatty carbohydrate foods with little fiber,
• sedentary lifestyle - prolonged static loads lead to a decrease in intestinal motility,
• lack of daily fluid intake,
• severe stress,
• psychological fear of defecation,
• pathology of the innervation of the intestinal wall,
• anorectal diseases,
• taking certain medications.

Nutrition plays a huge role in the regulation of intestinal motility. Eating mechanically sparing food for a long time and lack of sufficient fiber in the diet contribute to the appearance of constipation. In addition, there are products that have a fixing effect. These include strong coffee and tea, cottage cheese, rice, pears, astringent products, flour, chocolate, pomegranates and pomegranate juice.

Lack of exercise is the second most common cause of constipation among people in developed countries. Poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle are factors that lead to impaired intestinal motility, but there are other reasons.

According to the prevalence of other factors, the anatomical features of the colon, diseases of the anorectal zone, as well as psychogenic and neurogenic causes, and endocrine disorders are distinguished. In the latter case, the most common source of disorders is thyroid disease and diabetes mellitus.

Compound

The effectiveness of the dietary supplement Fitomucil in matters of weight loss and cleansing is due to the naturalness of the composition, free from everything unnecessary. The manufacturer uses only working components, two for each product.

Phytomucil is an ideal product for weight loss because it does not contain synthetic components, sugar or sweeteners. When creating, only natural and healthy ingredients are used, which have a gentle and guaranteed effective effect.

The basis of all drugs in the Fitomucil line is dietary fiber (fiber) , presented in the form of the shell of plantain or Psyllium seeds. The term “dietary fiber” was first used in 1953. Today, it is understood as edible parts of plants that exhibit resistance to digestion and adsorption in the intestines.

The role of dietary fiber in the functioning of the body is difficult to overestimate:

• participate in the formation of the volume of intestinal contents;
• contribute to the development of a feeling of satiety;
• participate in the secretion of digestive juice;
• increase food digestibility;
• necessary for the normal functioning of the liver, pancreas and gallbladder;
• contribute to the removal of metabolic end products from the body.

On the contrary, a deficiency of dietary fiber in the body is accompanied by disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract, a decrease in the functions of the immune system, and an increased risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Fiber perfectly absorbs liquid, noticeably increasing in size. This causes a feeling of satiety that is maintained even when refusing a hearty snack. The phenomenon is achieved by reducing the time that food usually spends in the stomach. Plus, dietary fiber has a stimulating effect on the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, which restores the functioning of the entire digestive system and improves immunity. The special role of fiber in weight loss is based on slowing down the access of digestive enzymes to carbohydrates. The latter begin to be absorbed only after intestinal microorganisms partially destroy the cell membranes. Due to this, the rate of absorption of simple sugars decreases. A sharp increase in blood glucose levels is impossible, which means that the formation of subcutaneous fat deposits does not occur.

• An additional component of the weight loss drug Fitomucil “Norm” is homemade plum . It was used as a laxative in ancient Rome. Plum is famous for its large supply of vitamins, of which the first place belongs to groups B and K. It contains vitamins A, E and C in smaller quantities. Plum is also a source of minerals: potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium. It also contains acids - citric, oxalic and malic. The content of pectin in fleshy fruits guarantees the removal of heavy metal salts, carcinogens and radionuclides. Homemade plum is recognized as an excellent choleretic and diuretic, as it easily removes excess salt and water from the body. This is very important for cleansing the body for further weight loss. Thanks to its balanced composition (fiber and plum approximately 5:1), Phytomucil “Norm” provides comfortable intestinal emptying without the side effects typical of laxatives.
• An additional ingredient in Slim Smart is glucomannan . The substance is obtained from konjac root, which has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for weight loss (the roots are dried and ground to a powder). The plant is one of the few that contain coarse fiber in large quantities. When it gets into water, glucomannan swells, increasing in size by more than 100 times. It works like a sponge, absorbing not only liquid, but also harmful substances. Once in the stomach, glucomannan provides a feeling of fullness for some time. It can also be used to achieve a number of other things: reducing blood sugar and cholesterol levels, slowing down the absorption of fats and restoring intestinal microflora. Scientific studies have confirmed that the use of glucomannan helps reduce caloric intake and lose weight, and weight loss is possible without compromising health and well-being. The results obtained are maintained in the long term.
• An auxiliary component of the Cholestenorm dietary supplement is phytosterols . Plant sterols or sterols, also called phytosterols, refer to a group of steroidal alcohols present in plants. Widely used in medicine and as food additives that reduce cholesterol and the amount of its absorption in the intestines. In this case, the effect of phytosterols applies exclusively to “bad” cholesterol. They don't affect the good one. An additional property of the substance is the restoration of skin elasticity.

Constipation symptoms

Main symptoms:

• rare bowel movements;
• dry, dense stool;
• stomach ache;
• increased gas formation;
• sometimes there is blood in the stool.

Constipation may also be accompanied by symptoms of general intoxication: headache, insomnia, bad mood, nausea, sweating, loss of appetite, and unpleasant taste in the mouth. This is due to the fact that when bowel movements are impaired, toxic substances stagnate in the intestines and are partially absorbed by the mucous membranes. In severe cases, with prolonged constipation, an increase in body temperature may be observed.

Shulpekova in her scientific work about (Shulpekova Yu. O., 2007, p. 1165). There may be a so-called retreat into illness, which is typical for patients with chronic constipation.

In case of acute constipation, which occurs once, the symptoms are limited to pain in the abdomen and a general deterioration in well-being, a feeling of heaviness and fullness of the intestines. With chronic constipation, there may be a deterioration in the condition of the skin, a decrease in resistance to infections, and a decrease in performance. In some cases, constipation leads to concomitant pathologies of the anorectal area - anal fissures, hemorrhoids. The likelihood of developing proctitis and paraproctitis increases. This causes blood to appear in the stool and requires an immediate visit to the doctor.

You need to take action if the following symptoms are observed: +

• hard or lumpy stools
• bowel movements less than twice a week,
• the need for straining,
• feeling of incomplete bowel movement.

The sooner you start treating intestinal constipation, the faster you will be able to restore normal peristalsis and get rid of problems with stool.

When should you take the drug?

Fitomucil is prescribed for the following conditions:

• constipation, feeling of heaviness in the stomach;
• hemorrhoids, accompanied by complications;
• diabetes;
• problems with the metabolic process;
• high cholesterol;
• poor nutrition;
• excess weight;
• prevention of colon cancer.

Frequent headaches, excessive fatigue, and skin rashes indicate intoxication of the body. In this case, Fitomucil will also be effective.

Diagnosis of constipation

Diagnosing constipation is not difficult - a person who consults a doctor makes corresponding complaints. However, it should be remembered that constipation is not always an independent functional disorder associated with diet or lifestyle. Therefore, at the initial appointment, a specialist may suspect the true causes of defecation retention by collecting anamnesis and some diagnostic measures, such as digital examination of the rectum.

As part of the diagnosis, laboratory tests are prescribed:

• assessment of hemoglobin level;
• determination of blood glucose levels;
• detection of thyroid hormone levels;
• stool tests for occult blood, etc.

This helps to exclude serious pathologies in which constipation may be secondary. For example, diabetes mellitus, anemia, hypokalemia, etc.

Instrumental examinations help determine the nature of constipation. Additional symptoms that are cause for concern are weight loss, elevated temperature, and increased ESR in a blood test.

The following methods can help in identifying the causes and mechanisms of constipation:

• X-ray of the abdominal cavity, irrigoscopy;
• proctosigmoscopy, colonoscopy;
• assessment of colonic transit time;
• electromyography, etc.

These methods allow the doctor to determine what mechanisms of constipation are observed in a particular case. Retention of stool can be associated with a decrease in motility or, on the contrary, with its increase, as well as with disturbances in the conduction of nerve impulses, stretching of a section of the intestine, which leads to the absence of urge, with mechanical obstacles in the form of tumors and adhesions.

It is worth noting that an expanded diagnosis of constipation in patients under 40 years of age who do not experience other warning symptoms may not be appropriate. The doctor will prescribe treatment and evaluate the dynamics, and will monitor whether improvements have appeared. And only if there is no response to therapy, an extended examination will be required.

Types and action

Excess weight gain is usually based on two reasons - increased appetite and sludge in the body. It is known that sometimes up to 3 kg of metabolic products accumulate in the human body, and the intestines are rarely able to cleanse themselves of ballast substances, which leads to health problems and weight gain. As a rule, the formation of stagnation in the intestines is dictated by a deficiency of fiber. The dietary supplement Fitomucil is a complex of dietary fiber and is designed for cleansing and weight loss without much effort.

The manufacturer puts on the market several types of the drug, which today are actively used by women for figure correction - “Norm”, “Slim Smart” and “Holestenorm”. Each comes in an easy-to-use powder form and performs important tasks in multiple directions. According to PharmaMed specialists, in a month’s course on any of the drugs in the line, you can start your metabolism and lose at least 2 kg. On the Internet you can find reviews about more radical weight loss - up to 12 kg per month.

"Norm"

The line's dietary supplement is intended for deep cleansing of the body and normalization of the gastrointestinal tract. Indications for use are the following:

• lack of daily bowel movements;
• slagging;
• unbalanced and irregular nutrition;
• inactive lifestyle;
• increased cholesterol levels in the blood;
• presence of excess body weight;
• dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal tract.

By and large, this is a laxative drug containing exclusively natural ingredients, and therefore has a mild effect on the body and is not addictive. The action of the dietary supplement is based on the following properties:

• ensuring comfortable bowel release;
• restoration of bowel regularity;
• removal of carcinogens and toxins;
• normalization of intestinal microflora.

The dietary supplement is characterized by its action in reducing appetite and preventing snacking due to the feeling of satiety present when taken.

Once in the stomach and turning into a gel-like substance, Phytomucil “Norm” stimulates the walls of the organ and activates the elimination of “waste”. Thus, the drug helps in getting rid of the feeling of heaviness, constipation and bloating. Passing through the intestines, the gel softens feces and ensures their painless removal. During the breakdown of the drug by intestinal microflora, beneficial acids are released, which also have a laxative effect.

Phytomucil “Norm” is a suitable product for preparing the body for a diet. Deep cleansing helps to free the body from excess, making it easier for a person to part with extra pounds in the future.

Since the dietary supplement does not contain senna, cramps and sudden urges to defecate when taking it are excluded. Cleansing occurs naturally and gently.

"Slim Smart"

First of all, the product of the non-medicinal group reduces appetite. The active properties do not end there. "Slim Smart" successfully demonstrates the following effects:

• reduces the absorption of fats and carbohydrates;
• reduces the total calorie content of food;
• provides regular cleansing naturally;
• removes toxins and waste.

The manufacturer especially recommends using “Slim Smart” in a number of cases:

• metabolic syndrome;
• overweight;
• inactive lifestyle;
• tendency to gain kilograms during periods of risk: menopause, smoking cessation, stress, postpartum period;
• body weight control.

The drug begins to work instantly, as soon as it is inside the body. Once in the stomach, it transforms into a gel, enveloping the mucous membrane and filling the entire space. At the same time, a feeling of satiety develops. The gel is not digested, which prevents the feeling of hunger and eliminates snacking. Swelling, it passes through the intestines, cleansing its walls and stimulating intestinal motility. The organism, cleansed of all harmful substances, copes with the breakdown of food and the absorption of useful substances many times faster. The conclusion is simple: when using the Slim Smart dietary supplement, the number of incoming calories is reduced and overeating is eliminated, which leads to natural weight loss.

Phytomucil "Slim Smart" is a good solution for those on a diet and dreaming of quickly losing excess weight.

According to the manufacturer, using Fitomucil “Slim Smart”, you can actually reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat, not muscle mass. A person stops experiencing an acute feeling of hunger, finds himself free from overeating, and therefore loses weight seriously and for a long time, plus gets used to eating in moderation.

"Holestenorm"

The product is primarily intended to combat bad cholesterol, that is, to prevent cardiovascular diseases, but at the same time it performs a number of other functions:

• adsorbs and removes fats from the intestines;
• controls blood sugar levels;
• normalizes intestinal function;
• participates in weight control.

Indications for the use of dietary supplements are the following:

• elevated cholesterol levels;
• metabolic syndrome;
• overweight;
• disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism;
• risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

As it passes through the intestines, Cholestenorm binds and removes cholesterol and fats from food. This helps reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood and reduce the level of “bad” cholesterol in it. In addition, the product slows down the absorption of simple sugars, which means it helps fight metabolic disorders.

Cholestenorm is recommended for anyone who wants to control their body weight, and for people over 40 years of age who have a high risk of developing cardiovascular pathologies.

The manufacturer assures that the use of dietary supplements from the Fitomucil line demonstrates good results not only in the matter of weight loss. With regular and proper use, the powder helps increase the body's defenses and restore the skin.

Relieving constipation correctly

Studies have shown that in more than 35% of cases, constipation is caused by insufficient dietary fiber intake. Therefore, the first step in restoring normal intestinal motility is changing your diet. Recommended use:

• raw vegetables and fruits, melons;
• fermented milk products;
• crumbly cereals and wholemeal bread;
• natural vegetable oil;
• seaweed;
• bananas and stone berries.

Dietary fiber in foods leads to water retention, increases the volume of stool and makes it soft in consistency, which makes bowel movements much easier. But what to do if you don’t get enough fiber from food? “Fitomucil Norm” will come to the rescue - an effective drug with a 100% natural composition. The biocomplex contains two active natural components:

• shell of plantain seeds of a special variety Plantago Psyllium;
• domestic plum fruit pulp.

They provide a gentle and comfortable bowel release without bloating, pain or sudden urges. “Fitomucil Norm” does not contain senna, synthetic components, flavoring additives, sugar or sugar substitutes, so even pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as patients with diabetes, are allowed to use the biocomplex.

In order for the treatment of intestinal constipation to give results faster, it is important not only to compensate for the fiber deficiency. Gives a good effect:

• consumption of at least 1.5–2 liters of liquid per day, preferably pure still water,
• moderate physical activity - it helps improve intestinal motility.

Taking the drug "Fitomucil Norm", sports training, proper nutrition and maintaining optimal water balance will help you forget about constipation forever. Choose a healthy life without bowel problems!

Physical activity for frequent constipation

One of the key values ​​in the prevention and treatment of chronic constipation is physical activity. Loads commensurate with age and health status stimulate improvement of intestinal peristaltic activity.

For example, taking a deep breath stimulates improvement of trophism. Trained muscles of the anterior abdominal wall create optimal pressure for the normal functioning of the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Exercise helps improve a person’s quality of life and relieve chronic constipation. Sometimes regular walking for up to one hour is enough to improve bowel function.

Particularly useful in this regard are gymnastics, water aerobics, swimming, and cycling. Therapeutic exercises are the main method of treating spastic and atonic constipation; it improves the tone of the intestinal muscles. Light fitness, yoga, jogging can also be an option to keep fit.

If there are contraindications to exercise, you should consult your doctor and jointly choose the appropriate types of exercise.

Treatment of constipation

Lifestyle adjustments are the main recommendation for people suffering from constipation. And quite a lot of attention is paid to nutrition, drinking regimen, and physical activity. But treatment of constipation must necessarily include training in correct behavior.

The doctor should explain the importance of the problem. It is impossible to restrain the natural urge to defecate - many experts focus on this. For example, Shulpekova explains in her work that “after eating breakfast, you should calculate the time so as not to rush to work, but spend 20–30 minutes. for a quiet stay in the toilet" (Shulpekova Yu. O., 2007, p. 1165). Colon activity increases soon after waking up and eating. Ignoring natural urges can cause a decrease in the threshold of excitability of intestinal receptors and lead to chronic constipation, aggravating the condition.

It is also very important not to lie in bed after waking up. Early rise acts as an additional stimulating factor for increased peristalsis.

Treatment of intestinal motility disorders involves the use of regulatory drugs. Treatment of constipation associated with anorectal disorders, such as pelvic floor spasm, may include a special technique - biofeedback therapy. It involves inserting a touch sensor and a 50 ml can into the rectum and then attempting to push it out. At the same time, there is visual support for the correct actions on the computer. This helps to develop a kind of conditioned reflex to the normal process of muscle relaxation. Treatment of constipation associated with some anorectal changes involves surgery.

In general, therapy involves eliminating the underlying cause. The course is aimed at treating a disease that is accompanied by delayed bowel movements, if it has been identified.

Laxatives are used as symptomatic therapy and in case of ineffectiveness of non-drug measures. There are several types of drugs that differ in their mechanism of action: +

• volumetric - increase the volume of feces and soften them;
• osmotic - increase the amount of fluid in the intestines;
• stimulating - irritate the receptors of the intestinal mucosa;
• auxiliary - soften stool, lubricate mucous membranes and facilitate excretion (oil, etc.).

Some drugs have a combined effect.

It is important to understand that every medicine has contraindications. The safest group are bulk laxatives. They should not be used if intestinal obstruction or ulcerative colitis is suspected.

Saline or osmotic preparations are more often used in preparation for diagnostic measures and procedures. They are used once, since constant use can cause water and electrolyte disturbances. This is due to the fact that the use of such laxatives has a drastic effect - it causes repeated, profuse stools.

Stimulant laxatives are not used as a method of treating chronic constipation; they are used once. Long-term use can lead to addiction and other complications - electrolyte disturbances, decreased receptor sensitivity and lazy colon, intestinal atony.

For people suffering from proctological diseases, laxatives are prescribed with caution.

Another way to get rid of constipation is the use of pro- and prebiotics. Khalif points out that “with chronic constipation, significant changes occur in the microflora of the colon: the number of main types of obligate microorganisms (bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, bacteroides) decreases and the number of opportunistic microorganisms increases” (Khalif I. L., 2005, p. 1003). This may aggravate the problem of bowel retention, so additional intervention is required.

I was severely tormented by constipation, fruits and vegetables did not help, chemicals worked as long as you drank them, but phytomucil improved the functioning of the intestines. I drank for a month, although the stool returned to normal within a week. When I stopped drinking, my intestines also worked well, and there was no addiction.

I’ve tried a lot of laxatives in my life, but phytomucil has an unusual effect, it seems, yes, it laxes well, doesn’t cause pain, but the sensations themselves, excuse me, are different in the toilet. It’s so easy and natural that I don’t even walk myself))) Dietary fiber is soluble and not, it turns out to be strength, but I suffered for so long... everything ingenious is simple - plantain and plum pulp and the job is done)

After I went on a strict diet, problems with the intestines began (. Sour milk did not give the desired effect. I did not consult a doctor, I started taking Phytomucil Norm (I learned the name from an advertisement). These are not capsules or tablets. They are available in crumbly form. I bought pack of 30 sachets. The drug is, of course, completely natural, but still you shouldn’t take more than 4 sachets per day. I diluted the powder in fruit drink, it turned out to be a jelly-like consistency with the taste of berries. More interesting than simply diluting it in water. I tried this option too. The most The main thing is not to forget to drink a glass of water after taking the supplement to consolidate the result. To be honest, at first I sometimes forgot. Then it became a habit. I am very pleased with the result, my bowel movements became regular, and I stopped feeling discomfort in my stomach

I can’t understand, people - how can you dilute a packet of Phytomucil with three glasses of water? It won't have the right consistency. It's the same as drinking just water. You must follow the instructions, and then the result will come. The drug is good, but negative reviews are written by those who cannot read.

I want to share my experience of using Fitomucil. I am at the beginning of the third trimester of my third pregnancy, and you understand how the fetus puts pressure on the mother’s internal organs. Therefore, constipation began, bloating and gas, a nightmare... I even got to the point of fainting, my intestines were so cramped that I could not move. Then I saw an advertisement on TV for Fitomucil and decided to try it, because I no longer had the strength to suffer. And the doctor is still a week away. I did everything according to the instructions and drank it. After a short time, I felt much better. And the baby became more comfortable)) Since then, I have always had it in my first aid kit. I’ll also take it with me to the maternity hospital, because after giving birth it’s not realistic to go out on your own. So I recommend it.

incredible intestinal scrub, no feeling of hunger

Flaws:

No

A friend who works in a pharmacy introduced me to this drug a little over a year ago, and I simply “fell in love” with it. This is a miracle remedy for periodic colon cleansing. I take it in courses, that is, I take it for two weeks, then take a break for 3-4 months. The result is amazing: it cleanses the intestines (and you will be surprised how much), after taking phytomucil, the feeling of hunger disappears, i.e. the stomach seems to be full all the time. Here, of course, there is no time for fanaticism: take it strictly according to the instructions and under no circumstances replace meals with phytomucil (this is for those losing weight!) It is quite easy to drink, but only if you drink it immediately, without waiting for the powder to swell. Highly recommend!

I didn’t plan to lose weight at all, BUT when I came to the gym after a break of 10 months, I discovered I was underweight by 1.5 kg. For the past five years I have not been able to move my weight from a dead point of 57.5 kg. I’m not a fanatic, I don’t exercise regularly, I don’t practice diets other than proper nutrition and avoiding fast food and other harmful things... And then I saw the number 56 on the scales, I was sooooo surprised!

Fitomucil was prescribed to me by a gastroenterologist from one of the most famous institutes in Moscow to regulate digestion.

How to drink. This is a colorless, tasteless brown jelly (and that’s good, because it’s chemical-free). DRINK IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, i.e. I poured the powder into a glass, stirred vigorously with a fork, and immediately drank it in one gulp. It swells instantly, so if you miss it, it will be impossible to drink it, you will have to eat it with a spoon, and this is still a pleasure. So it’s better to let it swell in the stomach. And don't forget to drink a glass of water. In general, you need to drink 1.5 liters of water for normal digestion. At work I immediately started a 1.5 liter bottle - I fill it with drinking water in the morning - I have to drink it before the evening. It was hard at first, but I gave up tea, buns, chocolates and coffee with sugar.

I really liked that phytomucil is a 100% natural product, containing only psyllium and plum husks, that it does not irritate the intestines, but gently regulates stool and restores digestion. There are no side effects, no bloating, no loose stools, it’s not addictive, digestion improves - I started to notice that I can already eat a banana or half an apple a day.

Now a few words about the packaging of phytoimucil. At first I bought the smallest package because I just wanted to try whether it would work or not. Next time I was choosing between a huge 360g promo jar and a package of 30 bags (each bag 6g).

Keep in mind that prices in pharmacies may vary by 20-30%. I went to 36.6 - there are 30 packages for 445 rubles, I went to Planet Health - there are 345 rubles, and they also give a 5% discount on the card. So if you want cheaper phytomucil, then “look for Shura, look for him, he’s golden.”

The jar costs 620 rubles. in Planet Health (without discount). The price is about the same as 30 packages: 620 rubles. versus 345r*2.

In my opinion, sachets are more convenient - you can carry them in your purse if you don’t have time to drink it at home. And there is one more very significant BUT. When I opened the jar, I had the feeling that I had bought some DIFFERENT PRODUCT. The husks in the jar are whole, not ground, like in bags. This is clearly visible in the photographs. The phytomucil from the sachets is as small as flour, like sea sand. Why is nothing written about this on the packaging??? Whole husks have a small plus - they do not swell as quickly and not as much in a glass of water as a ground product, i.e. more enjoyable to drink. But damn it, it’s all the same, you need to warn!

It is very confusing that the product was produced in the USA, and everything they have there is genetically modified. Why don't they do this in Russia? Why can’t we grow plantain? So now I’m actively looking for a replacement, primarily for

iherb.com, initial searches yielded a bunch of results costing approximately $5 to $10 for (WARNING!!!) 340 grams of product, i.e. exactly 2 times cheaper than phytomucil. This is because Yerba Prima or Source Naturals probably don’t spend money on marketing and don’t charge doctors for recommendations, as medical prescribers of phytomucil probably do.

So in the near future I’ll give up phytomucil and start ordering analogues with

iherb.com or somewhere else, I wish the same for everyone else. Stop wasting money.

It just so happened that starting in 2014, due to nervousness, my gastrointestinal tract malfunctioned. At the same time, the schemes that doctors gave, to put it mildly, do not work.. At the moment, I have tried a lot and would like to share many things with people who are in search. My reviews will be especially interesting to those who have: 1. chronic gastritis 2. chronic pancreatitis 3. GERD 4. IBS.

So, the hero of our today’s “novel” is the dietary supplement Fitomucil.

Ingredients: psyllium husk, plum fruit.

Indications for use: constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal dysbiosis, hemorrhoids.

Directions for use: adults: 1 sachet 2-4 times a day. Dilute the powder in a glass of still water and drink immediately, followed by another glass of warm water.

Duration of admission: 1 month.

My characteristics (I drink not according to the instructions): two sachets, in the morning 40 minutes before breakfast and at night, courses 2 times a year (according to schedule or as needed). The result occurs in the 2nd week of use. When things return to normal, I switch to 1 sachet before breakfast.

Why do I recommend this drug?:

-safe: no additives, suitable for children over 3 years old, pregnant women

-does not contain senna

- not addictive.

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that you can buy plantain seed powder on iHerb, which is more economical. I didn't buy it myself.

And the promised recommendations for curing such a delicate problem as constipation:

1. do the following exercises half an hour before breakfast:

A. bike 5-10 minutes (the longer the better)

b. from yoga “Lying on your back in a flat position, as you exhale, pull your right leg towards you, bending at the knee. Put your arms around her and pull her towards your stomach. The shoulders, tailbone and second leg do not come off the floor, the head can be slightly raised. Stay in this position for 5 seconds. Slowly, while inhaling, return to your previous position and do the same with the other leg, then with both legs. Watch your breathing, 3-4 circles are enough.” For this exercise, special thanks to one of the Irecommend participants. I read it, accepted it for execution - it works.

iii... soft circular movements with your hand on your beloved tummy in a clockwise direction, as if you woke up, lying in bed.

2. follow the drinking regime. Drink a glass of warm water 30-40 minutes before meals; after meals you can drink only an hour later.

3. Be sure to take any probiotics at the same time. I'm in love with

Lactis.

Preventing constipation

Prevention of constipation begins with lifestyle changes. Due to the fact that the most common causes of stool retention in modern people are diet and lack of exercise, it is important to pay attention to these aspects.

The diet should contain a sufficient amount of foods rich in dietary fiber. It is better to limit the consumption of refined foods and try to eat more vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. The daily menu should include cereals, fermented milk foods, lean meats, poultry or fish, soups, whole grain bread (made from wholemeal flour).

It is important to limit the consumption of strong tea and coffee, chocolate, astringent products, marinades and pickles, fried and fatty foods. You need to drink enough water - up to 2 liters per day. This volume includes soups, compotes, herbal teas, etc.

It is necessary to adhere to regular physical activity, to warm up during the working day if the work is sedentary.

Correcting your lifestyle also involves developing useful habits: try to wake up a little earlier and not lie in bed so you can go to the toilet without rushing. Compliance with these rules will help maintain normal intestinal motility and bowel regularity.
