Follow this schedule EXACTLY.
Your thyroid medication MUST be taken on an empty stomach.
Wait 1 hour before eating or taking other pills.
Check off each cup as you drink it. Goal = 80 oz (10 cups) per day for constipation relief.
Why 10 cups?
• Lasix (water pill) makes you lose water
• Psyllium fiber needs water to work
• Prevents constipation
• Prevents kidney problems
Walk 3 times per day (morning, afternoon, evening)
• Even 5-10 minutes helps constipation
• Walk around the house
• Walk to the mailbox
• Move after meals
Movement helps your bowels work!
