three dessertspoons of raw psyllium husks in a large glass of pineapple juice and drink a litre of water or two that same day. continue both for a few days. psyllium is natural, available at your supermarket at low cost in the health food aisle, and actually locks onto toxins in your bowel and helps you remove tham. and flffs up your poo, lol. i've used it for many years under the advice of my naturopath. licorice has a hormonal effect very much like estrogen, so be careful. John D' Adamo's book "Eat Right For Your Baby" is a fantastic resource and under $30.

good luck
