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 🙁

Need to eat your greens and walk 2000 steps a day plus ballet leg lifts help and lie flat on your, then back lift one leg up and do crossovers keep legs straight 30 each side for oblique muscle strength in abdomen. 3 times a week.
Also Drink , as old news, but true : drink 8 glasses of water per day.

In my opinion everything about him is a scam. He’s probably already selling every vitamin known to man to try and make up some of the nutrients in the foods he says we shouldn't eat.
As a scientist he should know foods provide more nutrients than supplements.
Save your money. He's looking out for himself not you.

My experience: Gundry’s “green smoothie” recipe + changing my diet to fit his “Yes” & “No” lists worked! 3 weeks after starting it, years of horrible cramps & diarrhea stopped.
(I was previously treated by MD Specialists for serious food allergies - for 30 years.)
- His ‘sugar, nightshades & lectins’ theory appears to be valid.
- His book “Plant Paradox” helped
- I believe he is now trying to “cash in” on his diet by marketing a line of pre-packaged foods.
So: Yes, his theory is true.
No, his ‘line of products’ is unnecessary and expensive.
- I make my own food.
- One thing I know: I once was chronically ill, and now I’m well!
I'm so sorry that you feel miserable. Being constipated is a horrible feeling. If you haven't already tried this idea...Grandma wasn't wrong when she said, "A prune a day keeps the doctor away". Try either a 6-8 oz glass of prune juice every morning or mix it with 4 oz of coffee. Both stimulate the bowels. You may need a few days depending on how backed up you are.
Call the doctor you trust the most and share your concerns. There are medical conditions that can result from intestinal surgery such as a paralyzed illius that need to be addressed.
Never be afraid or embarrassed to discuss what is concerning to you. It's your life.
at walgreen or amazon Prunelax max strength tabs 2 with 2/3 meals with 8-12 oz water .. start slow IT WILLWORK, then study diaphragmatic breathing. Best of luck

Have you had the opportunity to consult with a urogynecologist? They might be the right specialist for addressing your bowel prolapse or any associated concerns. Sometimes, the issue could be as simple as bladder prolapse, and a pessary might be a suitable solution for managing it.
From my personal experience, dealing with bowel issues can be challenging, and it's essential to have the right specialists involved. I underwent several procedures, including bowel resections and bladder repairs, due to a rectal hernia that was initially overlooked. Even renowned institutions like the Mayo Clinic can occasionally miss such diagnoses, highlighting the complexity of bowel health in women's care. More research in this area is vital.
Regarding laxatives and blockages, I found that natural coast fibre was quite effective. One tablespoon on cereal can help with blockages by providing the necessary texture to aid in movement. Laxatives make it too .

I would recommend that you try Reiki. It is energy healing. I thought that this was just hocus pocus until I actually saw what it can do. This and reflexology can be a great comfort to you. Good Luck!

IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION...GUNDRY IS IN MY OPINION, SCAM ROYALTY, ONLY INTERESTED IN FILLING HIS POCKETS!! WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE A MEDICAL LISCENSE?? HE IS A GRAND EXAMPLE OF WHY THE MEDICAL "BUSINESS" IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED!! WE NEED TO CHECK BACKGROUNDS THOROUGHLY, TO BEST AVOID THE KIND OF QUACKERY THAT GUNDRY REPRESENTS. WE CAN'T TRUST THOSE WHO SUPPOSEDLY KEEP THESE FRAUDS UNDER A WATCHFUL EYE. WHAT A JOKE!!! IT'S UP TO US TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND FAMILIES. THE SO-CALLED "AUTHORITIES WILL SEND OUR HEALTH TO THE TOILET, UNLESS WE TAKE CHARGE OF OUR OWN HEALTH AND EDUCATE OURSELVES TO PROTECT US FROM THE GREEDY QUACKS THAT ARE AMONG US IN DROVES!!
