Constipation: Take: 1. vitamin D3 10,000 IU/day (NOW is a good brand) 2. Megafood Megaflora plus probiotic 1-2 caps/day 3. Psyllium husk poweder 1-2 tbsp/day (Konsyl is a good brand) 4. Milk of magnesia 1-2 tbsp/day until soft bowel movements occur (Use 'original'. Avoid flavored ones) Symptoms should resolve in 24-48 hours.
