When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hi,
Sometimes BM's are hard to regulate, especially for those of us with our prolapse problems. My suggestion, which is simply my opinion, would be to back off on the cheese. It has always been known to be a "hiney binder". I have never been able to take psyllium - too much fiber, I guess, it always seemed to back me up or cause cramping. You also may be getting too much wheat as in the bread and pasta. Many times I use lettuce in place of bread if making a sandwich - seriously - it works. Also, I eat nuts any chance I get and don't seem to have a problem. Possibly, you should play with the amounts of what you eat just to see if you can regulate yourself a little better. Do you eat organic foods? We find a lot of little problems have cleared up in our bodies, simply by switching to organics. Can't believe the healthy glow my husband now has!! We also use a certified organic probiotic that works very well for us.
I hope I've given you some thoughts to ponder and hope things can change for you. Let us know.
Take care and blessings,
Grandma Joy

flax cereal
I tried psyllium at one point and it just didn't seem to work for me. What did work was when I started eated FlaxPlus flax cereal for breakfast every morning. That stuff is awesome and has a lot of health benefits from the omega-3s and whatnot. It tastes great too, I usually add a little splenda to it. Anyway, even my husband loves it and it has kept him regular too. Just be sure you don't buy boxes that are near or past the expiration date, flax is a fairly delicate thing and can smell like a permanent marker when it expires. I have found the cereal at most stores, but it seems to be cheaper at TraderJoe's, if you have one of those near you...

I should get paid for that, I sound just like a commercial!

Great Ideas
Thanks for all those great suggestions. I’ll try all those ideas. I think the psyllium is causing me more problems than it’s solving. I eat loads of cheese and wheat-based foods so I’ll have a go at cutting those back for a while and see if that helps.
I’ll definitely get onto the flax – I used to have flax seed oil regularly and it’s great stuff. Would that be the same as having flax seed or the flax cereal? (not sure if you can get that cereal in Australia but I’ll check it out.)
