A Question Regarding B Natural’s Psyllium/Flax Organic Mix: Is this product supposed to help with diarrhea or constipation?

Dr. Amy — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:47:20 +0000

Our organic blend of psyllium seed and husk mixed with equal parts of organic flax if taken at a level of 1-2 tsp twice a day will help to regulate a fast moving bowel. However, if the bowel is loose due to bacterial infection, viral infection, or parasites, those issues must be addressed to fix the base issues.
Taking a probiotic that is balanced will help to bring a better balance to the bowel.
If you are constipated. I recommend taking Chelated or Citrate Magnesium, this will relax and move the bowel. Once you have your bowels on a regular daily schedule, you can then begin the fiber twice a day.

Hello, I’m a 22 year old young man from Morocco. Since 1999 I’m in bigtrouble with unexplained joints pain. Until now I have seen 13 doctors, fromgeneralists to rheumatologists and internists but no one has been able tomake the diagnostic. This is how my problems began: · 1999 : knee swollen, it was my right knee and the doctor drainliquid from it. · 2000 : start feeling pain in my feet. The pain comes and goes,but since 2003 I haven’t felt that pain again. · 2002 : I start having hips pain that comes suddenly and goesafter 3 or 6 days and makes walking difficult and painful. At the beginningthe pain was just in the right hip, but now the pain comes in both hips, butnever both of them at the same time. · 2004 : My left knee swelled and I was diagnosed with rheumaticfever. · 2005 : I became seriously ill (fatigue, fever). I was tested forhepatitis B and it was positive, after months of treatment I overcame it. Now the hips pain keep coming and going and the knee swelling becomes morefrequent, in the last 12 months I have had knee swelling more than 10times. My actual doctor which is an internist think about a hereditary inflammatorydisorder, so I was tested for familial Mediterranean fever and T.R.A.P.S butboth of them came negative, I’m also taking colchicines every day butthere is no result. After doing research on the internet, I asked my doctor about Lyme disease,but he said that my symptoms are not matching with it. I ask him aboutmaking the test, so I made the serologic test of lyme, but it came negative.My doctor says that if the test is negative this mean that I don’t havelyme, but after all the research that I have done I think that I have it,especially that this disease gives a sense to all the symptoms that I have. Here is a list of all the symptoms that I have: · Knee swelling; · Hips pain; · Fingers swelling in both hands (this have start in 2007, andhappen only in winter); · Back pain; · Clavicle pain; · Chest rash; · Other rashes, look like bartonella rash but not red they look likefading rash; · Right eyelid twitching. This is not very frequent, but can happen3 or 6 times a day especially at night; · Unexplained fever; · Episodes of fatigue and tiredness; · Hepatitis B (that I overcame it). · In 2003 I have had swollen lymph nodes behind my left ear, thatsatys for weeks and then go away by itself, and never appear again. Now I feel lost, and couldn’t find a lyme specialist in my country. So do you think that my symptoms are matching with lyme? or other co-infections (like Babesiosis, Bartonella …).

With this long of a history of mystery pains, I would recommend a private consultation. We can do a telephone or skype appointment.
If you chose not to become a patient of mine I would consider the following:
1. Ask for a cat scan of your body. Looking for lymph system involvement and checking the stomach, pancreas, spleen, and liver areas.
2. If you are not able to get a cat scan, ask for an ultra sound of the above mentioned body areas.
3. I would need to know exactly what you take (supplement and medications), and a food diary of at least 2 weeks.
4. Ask you family members, at least your parents, aunts, and uncles if they have had any similar symptoms.
5. I have a protocol of colloidal silver with grape seed extract and msm, for 14 days, three times a day we would try first to see if your symptoms lesson.
6. Remove Gluten foods and processed meats from your diet for 14 days.

I hope this helps. Without further information this is the best advice I can give to you.
