They think things are moving slow. I have pains when I eat. I also have mals so they aren’t sure which is causing the pain

Just got signed up for a two week pelvic floor training program 3 month's out. No diet advice.

Very limited foods. Gluten and lactose free. Low fiber. That is about all I can eat.

Hello
I was diagnosed with slow motility 1 year ago. GI prescribed Motegrity. It has been a game changer. Now I know how ‘regular’ people feel. Good luck!

I should mention that I also went to physical therapy for pelvic floor training.

@bnancy
I recently found Iberogast at Walmart of all places. I also used to get it from Amazon.

I have done ICV massages for a very long time now. It is the only thing that saved me from the constant pain and horrible constipation I was experiencing . I found out how to do them on YouTube. Such a lifesaver.

Hi marshae,

Did you follow up with your Dr about Motegrity? Any results you can share.

I take Motegrty for CIC but have to "help" that with Dulcolax and I shouldn't be doing that. Motegrity alone though didn't get things, ummm, moving enough. Just wondering if you tried it and the results.

CIC is extremely frustrating, and I'm sure everyone here relates. At least people are kind enough to share what works and hasn't worked because we all have different results. In addition to the Motegrity and Dulcolax, I've made it a practice to take Miralax every night before bed. I'll just say it keeps things movable. And I eat a lot of fresh fruit and raw vegetables.
