Can Activia yogurt get rid of a fecal impaction by breaking down the compacted fecal matter in the body?


Posted by ihearthelord

I think I have a fecal impaction, and I don't want to go to a doctor or have surgery.

Do you know of any food or drinks that can break down compacted fecal matter and get rid of a fecal impaction?

Thank you.

If you actually have a fecal impaction you should have it dealt with sooner rather than later. It can lead to serious problems.

As a holistic nutritionist I suggest first of all that you don't have Activia although it has good bacteria it is also high in sugar which is not good for a healthy bowel.

 

You should be looking at serious probiotics that you can get at a naturopath's office or at a good health food store, like Wholefoods or smaller ones.

You also need to make sure you are eating healthy fats, and drinking enough water.

This sounds like a bowel/digestion problem so you need to change your diet and get things moving. A quick fix won't work.

I have some health tips on what foods can help on back issues of my blog.

in health,
