Constipation Cure

Because I'm on so many medications, I am not only trying to fight dehydration but I'm also up against constipation. I'm drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day and I'm juicing 32 ounces of carrot juice and 32 ounces of green vegetables juice which is helping me stay hydrated -- but constipation is what I felt all week long until my close friend brought over her famous paleo pancakes. I should have known these would do the trick but with so much on my plate I forgot.

Other solutions the doctors recommended for me included prescribed meds, Miralax and prunes but these did nothing for me.

This girlfriend paleo pancake recipe works at any meal or snack. And it is the recipe that not only tastes great, it unclogs the system.

Ingredients for "My Girlfriend's Paleo Pancake":
I cup almond meal
1/2 cup flaxseed
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 bananas
1 cup blueberries
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix all other items in another bowl. Pour the dry ingredients bowl into the wet ingredients bowl. Mix.

Heat up about a tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan. Pour small amounts if batter onto the pan (roughly 2 inch size). Cook like pancakes-- then store like bread in the fridge. I reach for a couple anytime I'm craving a snack -- or I'm looking for a constipation cure.
