I'm realizing more and more being constipation keeps neuropathy going. I've worked on constipation all my life and at 82 and getting older and now dealing with neuropathy from hip replacement surgery and other stuff...cleaning up the diet, eating more bran (oat bran added to soups) and now with the addition of a stool softener when I go to bed, the neuropathy is so much less.

Think about this if neuropathy is stubborn, clean out the colon. Get rid of lots of sugars too, but the stool softener is just what might be needed...
