Taking Miralax and Meta Mucil in the same day

Hi Judy,

Have you checked to see if any of your meds/supplements have constipation as a possible side effect? Chemical constipation can be quite strong and halt motility. I had that happen with too large a dose (for me) of melatonin.

Also, if that isn't it, note that I have a hypersensitive gut, IBS-C and a redundant colon. I eat porridge and soups a lot and drink warm liquids, among other things, for 2/3-3/4 of my calorie intake. That may help with any adhesions too.

Thank you... actually I don't take any meds..& eat a relatively healthy diet. The sudden change happened May 1st... & the round of tests/info I've gotten seem to point toward some scar tissue or adhesions. The colorectal surgeon wants to try other options before surgery (which I guess is good). But it's been 3 months of discomfort.. very little eating & im confused. The GIs just prescribe Linzess (which doesn't work)... the surgeon is gone for two weeks & im trying to figure out what to do & what surgery would actually entail!
