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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
