Hi Anna,
Best of luck, with some observations and trials you can likely work out a deal with your body! My Naturopath helped me with ideas but it his words, "I know you can figure out something that works for you," that really set me in motion to do just that.
Disclaimer: This is only my experience. I choose going natural. I have used organic, integrative, functional, holistic Naturopathic doctor's advice along with my MD’s since the early 1980's.
Good luck. I have tried laxatives and they are not consistent and have side effects like bloating, etc. And all say for occasional use. They disrupt the system if take continuously. I liked a response from a co-redundant colon person: “It’s physical” so regular constipation suggestions may not work.
Last Dec the doc had me do non sedated colonoscopy. He could get through the colon as I watched on TV. I had had a baby years ago (natural and could stand the pain) so figured I could stand it – it was no big deal. Most people in world don't get put out. Very interesting and it helped allow the scope to get through because I relaxed.
Look up Osmotic gradients and Migrating motor complex and consider your electrolyte balance. OptiMag and K2+ Potassium are great supps and be sure to include prunes, squash, sweet potatoes, rhubarb etc in your diet. I like to soak ground 2T chia and 2 T flax seeds in prune juice overnight, then take half in the morning and half at night. Throw sugar out, processed and refined foods and drink lot of water starting with a quart of hot water in the morning - boys scouts. Coffee and Smooth Move are my back ups to get things moving under stress. I don't like coffee but it usually works. Thankfully I only need coffee a few times a month. It took me 60 days to figure out my solution and wow is it great. The best thing is I don't have the mental anguish that I so often experienced dealing with constipation nearly my whole life. I'm soon to be 72 years old. @farmersmith
