New ideal for anyone with constipation issues
I wanted to pass this along to everyone because constipation issues seem to be almost a daily issue on here. I had LOTS of problems for the first few months after my surgery. One day a neighbor of mine happened to mention that they loved sunflower seeds, but had to quit eating them because they ran her to the bathroom. I decided to give them a try and now after about 4 months of eating 1/4 cup of them a day, I have not had ANY issues with constipation. The added plus is that for such a portable snack...you get 9 grams of protein. Hope this helps someone else.
Pumpkin seeds also work really well. Try them.
