I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

Dr. Ghosh: Constipation can be an unwanted side effect from chemotherapy, certain medications, not drinking enough fluid or lack of exercise or activity. It is crucial to relieve constipation, because not treating it can lead to nausea, vomiting and severe stomach pain.

To avoid or relieve constipation:
Eat plenty of fiber, at least 25 to 35 grams per day. High-fiber choices include whole-grain cereals and breads, fruits (fresh, dried or canned), vegetables (fresh, frozen or cooked) and legumes (dried peas and beans).
Drink eight to ten glasses of water daily.
Exercise.
Drink a hot beverage about half an hour before your usual bowel movement time.

Stool softeners and laxatives are available and sometimes necessary, but it's important to try foods, beverages and exercise first. Save the stool softeners and laxatives to use as a last resort, and take them only with the approval of your doctor.
