Anyone Try Oxy-powder?

Has anyone ever tried or heard of Oxy-Powder for constipation? It's supposed to clean the small and large intestine of impacted fecal matter (lovely) and is all natural and of course gluten free.. I need to do something about this constipation. I do not like the idea of taking laxatives.

Thanks

You mean the Oxy-Powder used for laundry? If so, I would say it's sounds like it is as safe as swallowing Javex :o Sounds darnright suicidal. :unsure:

Ha, I thought of that at first, too. Now I can't get the gritty voice of the oxy-clean guy out of my head!!! <_<

I think (hope) she means this:

That's good--when I read it, I thought of Oxi-Clean, too :o

Why in God's name would they name it that????? :o

I can just imagine a discussion around the water cooler at work:

Girl #1: "Oh Trixie, I have to tell you what I discovered!! I tried Oxy Powder to get rid of my constipation and it worked wonders!! You just HAVE to try it!"

Girl #2: "Thank you so much for telling me, Gertrude! I have such bad constipation I feel like the Goodyear Blimp! I will try some tonight!"

Girl #2 stops by supermarket and goes straight to detergent aisle. She stocks up.

Girl #2 goes home and takes it. Shortly thereafter, she's floating up to heaven cursing Trixie up to the clouds and is thereby refused entry through the Pearly Gates due to her foul language.

Sheesh! Can't they see that scenario coming a mile away?????? <_<

MY son was REALLY constipated and nothing worked. I tried Yummi Bears Fiber. Worked the same day with no distress. I tried them and they work great. 1800-500 HERO or www.yummibears.com. Whole foods market sells them. Or can special order them. They taste good too. You might call to check offiical grown- up dosage.

Yes, I have used Oxy-Powder since last summer. It's been a lifesaver for me. I had tried everything from Colonix to the 10 day Master Cleanse, but Oxy-Powder is the only thing that worked for me. I used it initially for a complete cleansing and then every other day for maintenance.

I, too, got incredibly constipated before I learned about gluten intolerance. It felt like there was an invisible cork inside of me. It doesn't matter what I do - fiber, oils, gallons of water....heck, I could hook myself up to a garden hose and still be constipated. It is sooo frustrating.

Everything started moving along just fine for a while after I started eating gluten-free. Then I ate a questionable product and....BANG....the cork is back. I am so mad!!! I guess I will have to resort to my beloved Oxy-Powder again, until things get moving again. It's been already 5 days since I slipped. Very frustrating!

How does it work? Will I need to be near a bathroon all day? It says it's all natural so I feel safe using it. Is it something you use daily or just to "clean out"?

Thank you so much for your responses!!

I followed the directions on the bottle. After the initial "clean out" I used it every other or third day, depending on how much I ate.

I take it before I go to sleep and the results vary for me. Sometimes I wake up 4-5 am and start running to the potty, sometimes I sleep all the way 'til 6:30 am and then start. After a few potty runs it usually stops. I leave the house at 7:15 and have a 45 min. ride to work (no stops on the way) and have never had a problem. If I were you I'd make sure I start on a weekend, so you kind of get an idea how it works with your system. It does get pretty intense when the urges start, and since it's "liquid" DO NOT try to pass gas under any circumstances.

I was kind of hoping that I didn't have to use it anymore, but I am starting to think otherwise.

Ok, my problem just resolved itself. No Oxy-Powder for me tonight.

I started to put ground flaxseeds in my protein shake (NOW whey protein - gluten-free) every evening for the past three days. I use a coffegrinder and measure two tablespoons of whole flaxseeds, which I grind very fine. Then throw it in the blender with the rest of my shake.

I hope that everything keeps moving along again.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
