[Everything doTERRA] Re: Constipation

Chronic constipation here too! Tried many things over the course of
my life, cleanses, probiotics, more fiber, more water etc, they often
worked but not for the duration. Extra water doesn't work for me.
When I first started doTERRA I was taking a little more than 1 bottle
of DigestZen a month and it was helping but not at the level I wanted.

I did the GX-Pb for 3 months. Between months 2-3, constipation got
bad. I read here to finish out bottle of Pb, so I did that at the
conclusion of 3rd month. It helped some, but constipation still
hanging on...

Been doing some type of digestive enzyme for years and I try to take
Terrazyme with every meal -- I usually get in 2-3 a day. I do 1/2
dose LLV (more keeps me up at night). I do 2 cups of coffee a day as
well.

At the recommendation of my esthetician upline, I started doing 3
drops of lemon oil in my water, 3x a day. Still not much movement.

Upped lemon oil to 4-5 drops with every glass of water daily. Things
started to move regularly. This was about 2 months ago. I was able
to stop DigestZen entirely, and now only use it for the occasional
gas.

The last two weeks I can honestly say I'm not sluggish anymore.
Seriously, first time in my life this is my normal state! I'm going
very regularly, sometimes too much. I'm at the point of scaling back
the lemon (2-3 drops with each glass/bottle).

Lemon stimulates bile production. All the other things are important
too (digesting properly, enough fiber and water, good bacteria), but
if you aren't making the bile it ain't gonna move.

Good luck!
