I don't have to drink it often. Maybe twice a month. It usually takes a couple of hours to take affect after i drink the tea. I suggest that you stay close to a bathroom when you drink the tea. You don't want to be traveling during this time.

@AngelPuppy1 --usually I drank it maybe 2 nights---I never needed it much really. My onc dr was always kind of surprised when I told her my system was not overly saturated with side effects from 5 months of chemo---but one thing I did every day was make a super duper green smoothie in the mornings.I believe that was my saving grace. Put alot of greens in it --wonder if you thought about that maybe? I have a vitamix so whipping it up was a breeze--always smooth and actually pretty delicious. but the tea worked for me right away--in hours not RIGHT away.

Thanks, no, I never thought of this.  I will keep it in mind!

Yes, I have used  Poop Doc for years. It never fails. You start with 3 capsules. If you need to, you can take more or less. I never would have developed hemorrhoids if I had known about this years ago. I feel bad people are suffering. Nothing else worked for me. I know it is expensive. You can buy it on Amazon or from the company. It is worth a try.

Last year I had COVID, then Bronchitis.  I was prescribed antibiotics, quite a bit.  Of course, it affected me greatly.  Went to a gastro doctor who prescribed a very strong drug.  Was horrible.  I decided to take matters in my hands with Lessman's Fibermucil, two capsules at night.  And dare I say I have discovered prune juice, as well.  Really helps!  The good kind with no pulp - "Sunsweet Amazing Prune Juice."  My diet alone wasn't working, but this combo works well for me.


The same happen to me and I do as you stated above. I also take a tea called, "SMOOTH MOVE".  The prune juice works wonders.

Sorry you are going through this, but you need to get off the cycle of treating symptoms instead of the cause. I take a high quality probiotic every day and drink plenty of water. I eat a variety of fruits and veggies and oatmeal almost daily for breakfast. I don't know if you have any physical restrictions, but if not, you must move your body as much as possible. It is designed for it, and moving stimulates the muscles that "move" things along. I am regular daily and when I use my mini rebounder 15 min a day, it stimulates me to go again. Prescriptions have their place and at times are necessary, but they are out of control, used for every single little problem. Doctors unfortunatley are only trained in pharma drugs and not nutrition or getting to the cause of the problem. 


@KittySoftPaws   If only everything were that easy - everyone would be problem free.

Took my DD as a baby to our pediatrician and that's what he told me to do! He was actually an immunologist and my doctor too! ❤️
