Yeah we all know it has sooooo many uses. I can tell you when I first added it o my shake I added 2 tablespoons and I may as well just sat on the toilet all day,lol. We talk a lot of shit in our house. Anyway, just thought some may need a clean out
When you didn't take enough fiber-rich food like vegetables and fruits, drink adequate water, or exercise on a regular basis, you're likely to suffer from constipation.
That's not all. Taking certain drugs, under stressful situations, experiencing changes in your lifestyle or routine, ignoring the urge to move your bowels, abusing laxatives, having irritable bowel syndrome, traveling or hormonal changes can also cause constipation.
So, what can you do to treat constipation?
Needless to say, all you have to do is take more fiber-rich food, drink more water and exercise regularly, right?
Well, not exactly. These good eating habits and lifestyle may work for most people. But some people just couldn't move bowels smoothly or fail to pass stool at all for days even with more intake of water and fiber.
When that occurs, you need something really powerful to override whatever that stops you from loosening bowels. And that would be coconut oil.
More often than not, you suffer from constipation because your stool is hard. And forcing it out may cause rectal bleeding. Softening your stool with coconut oil can greatly reduce the friction between your stool and rectum, resulting in smooth bowel movements.
Some people mistakenly thought that coconut oil causes constipation. It actually cures constipation instead. In fact, eating coconut oil is the best natural laxative that helps to relieve difficulty in pooping or infrequent bowel movements.
Thanks to its abundant amount of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which is the secret for constipation relief. That's because MCFAs provide quick energy for your intestinal cells that boost their metabolism and hence, stimulate your bowel movements. MCFAs help to soften your stool too.
Not only acute sufferers get to effectively relieve their constipation, chronic sufferers find eating coconut oil good for their chronic condition too.
However, you have to be cautious about its dosage because suddenly taking too much dose can over loosen your bowels and cause the reverse diarrhea-like symptoms.
To make matters worse, there's no best dosage for different individuals. Some people after taking 1 teaspoon already can feel the bowel-loosening effect while others require at least 2 tablespoons daily. That said, how much you need for treating constipation depends on how your body reacts to the MCFAs in coconut oil and how serious your constipation is.
If this is the first time you use coconut oil for constipation treatment, I suggest that you take 1/2 tablespoon in the morning and 1/2 tablespoon at dinner (simply add to your meals) and see how it goes. For first-timer, you should never consume more than 2 tablespoons per day for fear it might give you the runs.
If you're a chronic case, you might want to start with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and add it into your breakfast plus 1/2 tablespoon at dinner time. If you don't feel much impact, then increase to 1 tablespoon in morning and 1 tablespoon at night the following day.
Gradually up your intake until you find the best dose for relieving your constipation problem.
Unlike other home remedies which are good at easing constipation and that's all there is to it, coconut oil provides amazing health benefits for you as well besides its bowel-loosening effect. When you take it on a regular basis, you'll gain even more than just improving your bowel movements.
huh........I put 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in my coffee every day. I have not noticed a diff in frequency or anything. maybe i should try 10 tablespoons HAHAHA

i have done up to 12 a day total. i can say if you start with 2 tbl spoons right out the gate, you most likely will pay for it haha. but like baby1 said, we are all different
i dissolve a big spoonful in hot tea (i do not like the taste of coconut). I use it as an at home remedy for crohn's related issues. it soothes my insides like aloe on a sunburn. i use the wax and it can also be used as cooking oil.
Sounds like colon cleanse. Take a couple scoops and 2 hours later you get an explosion. You might just shit out a t bone steak thats been stuck in there for years
