Alternative Treatments for Constipation

[nyt]

Since I really need to get my RSD under control I have been doing alot of reading. I came across a website by Dr. Hooshmand, he is now retired, that is a source of information for RSD. He had a couple of suggestions for abdominal and pelvic pain treatments to help with bowel function. I thought I would pass them on just in case someone might find one of them helpful. I'm going to try drinking Aloe Vera and see if that helps.

What To Do For Severe Pain In The Abdominal And Pelvic Area

Intestine and Bowel problems are often the signs of inflammation in RSD. This is very similar to the same inflammation that involves the extremities.

Helping Treatments:

1. Aloe Vera Liquid- drink a few times a day.

2. Drink cold water with ice in it a few times a day.

3. Move, Move, Move, walk, exercise.

4. Epsom salt enema once every day or other day: not for constipation but to decrease swelling.

5. IV Mannitol 90 gm in 1000 cc D 5 W once every three days x three.

6. Epidural Blocks or Coeliac Ganglion Blocks.
