Hi A.,
My sister and some of her band mates used this product a couple of years ago. They loved it. I wanted to go thru a 'cleansing'...not because I have/had any problems but just to cleanse. But I was already pregnant again and you can't do those things when you are pregnant or nursing.
Basically so far, all the feedback I've ever heard has been positive and not a scam.
But I agree that you might want to balance out your stomach flora also - or first, with a probiotic (acidopholis(?)).
On the flip side of all this ...because our bodies do go thru so much because of the birthing process....you might want to get some recommendations to a good Chiropractor. It's not 'automatic' that everything goes back into place after giving birth. And for all you know you could have had some minor unnoticeable issues prior to child bearing. And constipation is now just one symptom.
I've had one for 26 yrs. Without them I could never have even GIVEN birth. Much less function after birth. My kids have been checked regularly since they were hours old.
If my 20 month old can trip on a stair....not poop for 2 days...get adjusted cuz her coccyx shifted from the fall...and then go thru 2 diapers immediately after the correction and get rid of what the body couldn't do when it wasn't aligned...then how much MORE should we woman need a realignment after pushing out a watermelon?
Make no mistake....watermelon...not cantaloupe ...ahhaa my second one was 8lbs 9 oz and no drugs used.
I was SO ready for an adjustment!
Using an herbal cleanse is great. But you may be just fixing the 'symptom' of a bigger issue that needs to be addressed.
We also have an herbalist who takes care of any detoxing and supplementing. He can give the right amounts of all that our bodies need. That coupled with a Chiro. We just don't have any issues.
I've never had any constipation issues. Until one time when I went to a 'bad' Chiropractor. He over adjusted my hips and I couldn't go!!!
I went back to the one who had worked for me for 10 yrs, and just dealt with the drive to get to him. After 10 yrs of bedridden after 2 car accidents...he's the one who fixed my 'insides' and I was able to get pregnant. When doctors told me it would never happen and wanted to do a hysterectomy after the accidents.
Chiro's have more faith in the human body and all it is capable of.
Recommendations from friends and family make a difference...if you decide to seek one out.
Good luck
