Re: Managing bowel function (constipation)

I have read other forum posts on this issue and just wanted to add another thought out there for fellow sufferers.

Pure pear juice works wonders. I suggest 250 ml to start, but you will have to work out how much that you will need as we are all so different. Also, a nurse at Hamilton Island told a friend to eat at least 9 (yes 9) kiwi fruits to help her constipation when she was on holiday there. She said that worked wonderfully well too.

Good luck
Shirley :)
