Pages: 1 Heather, or anyone, is Triphala safe?       #116414 - 10/27/04 02:14 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois I am curious as to whether the herb from India called Triphala is safe for the contstipation phase of IBS? I am an Alternating C and D and am curious as to what time of day is best to take this herb, and how many mg to take at each dosage? Is this safe to use on a consistant basis? Or is it harmful? Dr. Andrew Weil recommended it on a radio show but that was for constipation. He didn't recommend it for IBS specifically. Does anyone else use this herb? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

Good if you're IBS-C. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
