an apple a day

Body: 

We have all heard the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I
just wanted to share with all of you how I feel apples are helping
me. I have UP and retocele, I tend to get constipated and of course that is the worst thing for all of our conditions. This fall we made apple cider from our apple trees, I was told they are winesap. IT was absolutely delicious! FResh and organic. Well drinking a bunch of that was very helpful, so when it ran out I started eating the apples one a day, they are a bit zingy. Worked wonders. They are all gone now so I have to go with store bought and it might sound weird but different varieties seem to work better than others. So far I would recomend the Braeburn type, delicious too. But in these hectic times hard to eat as well as we would like but having an apple seems to help. Hope this helps others! Diana

Diana,

Thank you for the tip. I have rectocele (probably UP too-doctor would not confirm this). I believe a diet with lots of fruits and veggies is crucial to those of us with rectocele, but I've been neclecting my own health during this busy holiday season. It's relief to know that an apple might just be the trick. Just wash & run!

Thank you,
Marie

Yes a good diet is absolutely necessary, but when things are so crazy
and you're not taking enough time for yourself, isn't this more the
norm now, seems like this is one simple thing we can do for ourselves.
Apples store so easily and no cooking! Diana

I have found that Fiber One cereal works wonders -- but since I have always had problems I do have to eat quite a bit of it along with fruits and vegetables.

Hope this will help someone else out there. I have noticed some improvement when I am eating it and not allowing myself to become constipated but then when I slack off I have problems again.

Best of luck!

i also have found that Fiber One cereal has done wonders. try eating brown rice too.
