[An...] Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I used to have a terrible time with constipation but not bc of benzos. My diet was the cause. I was eating too many animal foods and refined carbs (not enough fiber). In 2013 IIRC, I made a radical change in my diet. I switched cold turkey from SAD or the Standard American Diet to a Whole Food Plant Based diet. I am not 100% plant-based but pretty darn close. After I began eating this way, my constipation totally resolved and my hemorrhoids are essentially in remission. I also take psyllium (the stuff you find in Metamucil) with each meal, so typically 1500 mgs each day. All my bowel movements now are painless and take less than a minute to complete . Here is the psyllium brand that I take. I like this NOW brand in gelatin capsules from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OW2KS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
