Yes you can, its perfectly safe, but you will need to read the instructions and work out how many times a day you need it. The minimum is 3 spoonfuls a day but i only need to take 2. Was recommended by my doctor to help heal a pile i had and keep my stool soft. It works very well, but takes 24-48 hours before it kicks into your system. once it does you should keep up the routine. also drink plenty of water with it. hope this helps
