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.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
