This is usually the opposite for most people. Kava gets things moving.

Yeah interesting! I have a couple thoughts on this. Kava usually makes me go like I had fiber, sugar, coffee and water all in one. However, if kava constipated you, I think the dehydration plays a role in that. If water makes you form poops and your body's out of water, guess what, no poop forming will happen. Just my thought on the matter.

In my experience, the immediate effect of kava is to stimulate the system. After that initial movement, yes, kava can firm things up.

I was literally about to make a thread and this is at the top.
If I consume micronized unstrained regularly enough, like a few days in a row or something, I'm at risk for the WORST constipation of my life

Strained kava always worked like coffee to me though, I'd have to shit within a few sips.

oh, also really wish I'd seen that link in the side bar with coupon codes... could've just saved my entire shipping charge with that

Haha, usually makes me move too. Although i am a casual user.

I gotta get off that micro, it hasn't been hitting lately. My AluBall is like months old full of moldy kava, Idk how to clean that lol. A lot of bleach and hot water I guess, or just buy a new one. Strainer bags are fine, but I felt little difference in effect whether I did it by hand or AluBall. Definitely more potent by hand but not enough to where I care

Yeah, it's the opposite for me as well.
In fact, on my days where I'm feeling I want to skip my pre-lunch Kava, I'll not have as good of motility later.

But I also consume lots and lots of water (with electrolytes - don't want to wash away the salt + minerals) because Kava, as well as two other substances I take, are somewhat diuretic, and the amount of water/hydration you consume has a relation to that.
