What would be the consensus of one who suffers chronic constipation? Should they refrain form C-S ?

I concur. Moderate amounts of CS can cure diarrhea by killing the pathogens, and it will be rather effective since there will be reasonably good mobility due to the diarrhea. This is especially helpful if you repopulate with good flora with a probiotic or yogurt. But also, if you take very large amounts of CS, it CAN kill the good bacteria in the gut as well, even it you don't have diarrhea, thereby causing diarrhea. This is easily fixed with probiotics as well. I have experienced both. Taking 4 to 8 oz a day of 5 ppm CS I have found to be very good in eliminating diarrhea. But one time when I was bitten by a tick and got the typical lyme spot, I took about a half to a full gallon of CS a day for a week to make sure I did not get lyme again. That ended up killing the flora, and gave me some pretty loose bowls. But a few probiotics and some yogurt took care of that once I dropped back into the normal range of CS dosage.
