Asking I ching about Constipation.

[TygerChild]

Good Evening!
I am struggling with constipation. The GP has prescribed the stool loosener called Laxido which is working, so all is well at the moment, but when I stop that, then I will know if the problem has been solved. The result after several days of Laxido is diarrhoea, ---so I have reduced the medication to one sachet a day instead of 2.
One GP has suggested I have a colonoscopy - which I hesitate to have because I have heard there are risks to that sort of investigation. For a number of weeks I had been on a largely plant-based diet. This was a change from a more varied diet I had previously.
I have no tummy ache or any other symptoms, just that I had not been to the toilet for about three weeks.
I have had a number of blood tests, including one for the thyroid, kidney function, and others...

I asked I Ching 'What is the constipation problem caused by?'
I Ching's answer was Hexagram 50, changing line 5, changing to Hex 44.
I am really struggling to see the connection between my subject question and this response!
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the message might be to me here?

Thank you very much!

I don't know the answer to your Hexes tbh BUT having been a mainly vegetarian for a loooong time and mainly plant based foods, a change in your diet does weird things for sure.
I was seeing a man for about 6 weeks last year and he switched to the way I ate (because it saved him from cooking haha) and he experienced a big difference in his bowel movements he said.
The other thing that really helps in sorting out your bowel movements when switching diets or general health is taking Acidophilus type capsules - please google the benefits.

50 line 5 is referring to the cauldron being filled with, and receiving, what is essential. Sounds like your solution may be nutritional?

thank you foxx.

I hope this is the answer. I will see if I can find some of those acidophilus capsules....and consider other things, but I am curious that a plant based diet would result in constipation...I would have thought that such a diet would be good for keeping a person 'regular'..?

50.5 can also describe reproductive system issues, especially so if you're female.
