I once had constipation lasting weeks. The normal solutions had no effect. Doing research, I found that niacin would help constipation. I immediately went and bought some, and took it. Within about 14 minutes, my upper body got really red and flush.

My wife wanted me to go to an emergency room. But emotionally, I felt great, and after an hour, the flush eased. And the constipation was resolved. Then I read about niacinamide, a non-flush version of niacin.

I have doubts about the article and its results. Drug companies and food companies would love to eliminate the required nutritional additives to processed foods.

A lot of people freak out when taking Niacin and go to the emergency room.

If you dont know what it can do to you it can be pretty frightening to have your body go crazy.

It seems the body will get used to it if you keep at it and the reaction will get less.

Constipation always ends with a flush.

(I’ll see myself out).
