What he needs is magnesium. It relaxes every organ of the body, including the colon so don't take too much. I'm an herbalist and we recommend this all the time and it works. Everyone needs more magnesium these days; it's no longer in the soil in amounts that are beneficial so it is no longer in our foods in normal amounts either.

I was flabbergasted to hear this from a medical person at a university teaching hospital/ medical center. But I looked it up online and a lot of people swear by it.

I put it in the bed last night, so we will see if it works. I should put it between the 2 of us as I get them sometimes too.
