how long does it take triphala to work for constipation - #24461

I am really struggling with constipation lately. Tried a bunch of stuff, but nothing seems to give me permanent relief. A friend recommended triphala, saying it works wonders. But, like, how long does it take triphala to work for constipation? I've been taking it for about a week now, just a teaspoon in the morning, but I haven't noticed much change! I feel bloated and frustrated. Is a week normal, or should I be seeing results by now? Some people say it has this gradual effect, but I guess I’m just impatient. I've been drinking more water, too! I read somewhere that triphala helps detoxify and aids digestion, but I'm feeling stuck here. How long does it take triphala to work for constipation in general? Should I keep going, or is a week long enough to decide if it’s doing anything? Any insights would be super helpful, thanks!
