For Diane and others who may be interested. Win, 67, dx Jan 97, has had problems with constipation for years, made worse by other medications she requires to control an unstable bladder. She has found that eating two pieces of fruit (an apple or pear, portion of cantaloupe or papaya) first thing in the morning has helped. She has this cut into small portions, and takes her first Sinemet with it. She then has her cereal, which includes 2 tablespoons of unprocessed bran, and a quarter cup of processed bran (AllBran) about an hour after the fruit. She has one rounded dessertspoon full of linseed as part of her breakfast cereal. She soaks the linseed in water overnight. She usually spends 5 - 8 mins on an exercise bike, as she has found this is a great help in overcoming constipation. Win & Lionel Modra <[log in to unmask]>
