    I also routinely use the nuclear option, but generally use the saline ingredients. However, I have also been diagnosed with pelvic floor dyssynergia which causes the muscles in the pelvic floor to not relax thus inhibiting stool passage thru the rectum. As such traditional treatments for constipation such as fiber, laxatives, water and stool softeners are mostly ineffective. These promote stool movement to the rectum, but do not enhance muscle relaxation. As such they can actually make the situation worse. I’ve had Botox injections to help relax the sphincter muscles which helps, but not one hundred percent.

    Which is the best brand of butyrate acid?  If you do an Amazon search you get over a dozen brands!  Some contain Magnesium and Calcium, others sulfur.  Others contain bio- availability enhancers.  Then there’s the dosage (mg) per capsule and recommended serving sizes.
