constipation from my Seroquel!

Well hey, since Carol replied I'll reply to you.
My UC is very mild and well controlled and has been for years. I can
and do eat a wide variety of foods and I'm not stuck in a rut eating a
boring VSTD meal week in, week out.
At least I'm not Manic-Depressive and mostly MANIC, ranting about a
bunch of bullshit every day because I cut a dose of prescribed mental
medication and started ranting about CBD oil and a "cuppa plus" making
things all better. It obviously hasn't.

Post by cshenkJohn, seems your vegetarian diet would be close to making that easy to
handle but here's some things that handle it for me. In my case,
Tramadol for back pain but not used often.
These foods may be ones you eat but do not mention.
I sincerely doubt he eats a lot more otherwise he'd crow about it. Oh,
he hasn't mentioned making TOFFEE lately or giving it out to people who
will vote for him when he runs for Mayor. I guess he ran out of garlic
and potatoes, too.
Post by cshenkFruit, as in more than just a little slice. Eat a whole orange each
day would be a good one. Plums are good too.
Leafy greens (cabbage is fine, so is mustard plants).
More fats in the diet may be needed since you eat very little meat.
More water may be needed. Lots of folks only drink 3 cups a day but
with a high vegetable based diet, they need more water to activate the
fiber properly. Adding a little juice to the water can spark it up and
make it really good.
I hope you realize he's not going to take this continuing advice you
keep offering. But do continue to try. Perhaps one day he'll expand
his repertoire.
