Some of us have slow digestion for reasons like hypothyroid and scar tissue from abdominal surgeries or endometriosis. Unless you have ever seen an opened abdomen with scar tissue you wouldn’t understand why the peristalsis is inhibited. It makes it stiff and can greatly inhibit the movement needed to propel your poop down the intestines during the normal digestive process. Proper working has its reasons. Also anything you try daily unless occasionally can also hurt you in the long run. Watch for dehydration and also you must consider how your body absorbs nutrients. There is so much to consider. You can have some of if your intestines surgically removed but it’s dangerous and you may wind up with a colostomy. Unless you’ve worked in surgery or are surgeon you have no clue about this. Then there are kinks and diseased parts that may have become unfunctional for whatever reason. And.. IBS Diagnosis because no one knows the cause of your constipation but Gid! All said some of us have multiple strikes against us and thus either get our colon removed or have to use multiple nonprescription and prescription and the usual things like diet, exercise and water. I have to take magnesium, miralax and Linzess and eat pristine and I am active and drink so much water. I have had my labs checked many times and my Magnesium level is great so that debunks the low mag level. Be careful not to overdose on it also! I still take Mag cause it does help and I do monitor my electrolyte levels about every 3-6 months. It’s a struggle to keep from having surgery from a complete obstruction but it’s worth it. Mag supplements can help some but still with high doses get a GP to check your labs and look up symptoms of overdose even those your labs may be OK and your having BM’s.
