Sorry. I read that wrong. Well Florestor might be something to try. Also my friend recently tried Metamucil every other day for bulking and she’s having some good results with that. Best wishes that a tiny bout of constipation is in your future!
Ha! Thanks!
Florestor sounds familiar. That might have been one of the things I tried with the gastroenterologist. And I did use Metamucil for quite a while with no results that I could see. I’ve used potent, prescription probiotics and everything else they could think of. I tried fermented foods, but didn’t stick with it long enough. I’m starting that again and I’m making sure I get plenty of prebiotics.
I’m at the point of going on a spiritual quest for healing my poor intestines!
It may be helpful to google "night shades"....Dr. Gundry didn't create this information, it's been known for many years....they are foods that cause inflammation in the joints.....you could always try not eating the foods on that list for 3 months or so...and see if you feel any different.....hope that helps....
Well, I have been researching anything that can return my regular BM since my intestinal prolapse surgery in October and now I am becoming more than a little concerned. I also read Dr Gundry's excerpts from his book and I think he sounds like he just wants money from people. Not an expert as he calls himself. I don't know what to use anymore because nothing is really working.. Doctors have prescribe the Miralax, Lactulose, Bisacodyl, Phillips Milk of Magnesia (yuk) and other over the counter things- such a waste of money .... the list goes on... I was so desperate last week I bought one of those liquid enema apparatus kits.. but I felt it was too dangerous and that I may harm myself even further... my PCP suggested eating 2 Kiwi's Fruits and at least 64 ounces of warm lemon water per day.. Apparently Kiwi's are the new "Prunes" Yoga and different types of twisting exercises sometimes gets things moving a bit, but none of this gives me the relief that is needed to be normal. I am literally full of ___ !! Today I decided I am no longer eating because it is not being eliminated properly. I can't go on this way any longer.. Each doctor seems to be of no help. This is such a condition that is difficult and embarrassing to talk about, even to a gastrologist .. I don't know... I feel something is terrible wrong.. Please, does anyone have any have any other suggestions about what I can do this weekend? Thank you so much for any response 🙁
I spoke with my doctor - Dr. Mark Condren who is an MD but also an integrative physician, about constipation. He suggested that I take Magnesium CItrate 150 mgs. magnesium 2 twice a day. I also eat Dates. That seems to help me everyday. Sometimes I feel emptied out and sometimes I feel a little constipated. Everyday I have a Bowel Movement. If I can be of any more help, please contact me.
Most physicians only prescribe over the counter remedies and or other drugs.

You are very lucky that you're able to have such great results with just these two simple things. I agree with you on the Metamucil gummies, they are better than others I have tried and I get SO tired of the powder form. The gummies are like a good for you candy.
Never wish for constipation. No drs really have any idea how awful it can be or how stupid they are when dishing out meds and advice. Same GI for 17 years, every script available, constant impactions plus worse. When a GI says " I don't know anything about the autonomic nervous system or what to do about motility." RUN OUT OF THE office and dump the dr. before he dumps you, after you get to have a nasal gastric tube shoved up your nose and down your throat for 3 days in ICU, because you DID have a partial small bowel obstruction forming. He literally would not return my calls, when I told him about it.

Hello,

Good luck!!
There is a tea called Smooth Move. It works!!
Hello,
Try Smooth Move Tea. You drink it before bedtime. In the morning you will relieve yourself.
Relieving myself means liquid diarrhea. That doesn’t sound like something that would be good. Or am I misunderstanding?
Metamucil gummies and prune juice has always worked for me...normal bm every day!
