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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
