I love this article and I did use these methods to help with my life long constipation and also for one of my children who had serious constipation from the moment he ate anything besides my breast milk. In particular, we have used probiotics, vitamin c and magnesium which have been great!
I don’t know if this is correct, but once I addressed my and my sons iodine deficiency, it seemed to be the biggest game changer for our constipation. I am not sure of the science on this, if there is any, but it was the thing that really “cured” our constipation. (I do note I have elevated anti-bodies to my thyroid, so this may be connected).
Hello Natalie, thank you! I’m happy to hear that you loved the article! Excellent point.
Iodine is a trace mineral and an essential component of the thyroid hormones. These hormones regulate the metabolic activities of most cells and thus play a vital role! When we are deficient in iodine this leads to insufficient production of these hormones. This can result in a condition such as hypothyroidism, which causes metabolism to slow down throughout the body, the frequency of bowel movements may also decrease. Unexplained constipation or having bowel movements significantly less often then normal can be a subtle sign of changes in metabolism due to an under-active thyroid (and iodine deficiency)! Our bodies are so very interconnected! Thank you for sharing.
