A constipation treatment thats overlooked by just about every conventional doc is the ileocecal valve. Not long ago I wrote about how a stuck valve can cause diarrhea. Interestingly, the same problem can cause constipation. In diarrhea, the valve is stuck open, so digestive contents flow more quickly than normal. In constipation, the valve is stuck shut, so the contents flow more slowly than is healthy.

To get the valve open, start by increasing your intake of fiber. This alone may be enough to get things moving, but if you need more help you can add supplements of calcium and vitamin D.

You can also massage various acupressure points to help release the ileocecal valve. This can work almost instantly.
