Absolutely great advice that I hadn’t thought of. I’m all for homeopathic solutions. Something I’ve also found that helps to keep the digestive process flowing is olive oil. Add it to food or take a shot.

How much and how often? Do you ever get you cholesterol checked? If so has it affected it? Some of us have problems with motility not what we eat or how much we move or drink. Not sure if it would work alone for someone like me? I’m on Linzess every am to promote peristalsis and also take Magnesium and miralax every pm and drink all day and do all the right things.

I use the gel from the Alo Vera plant. Since it’s bitter, I made a tablet from the get and freeze it which makes easy to swallow. It has made a big difference. It can’t hurt you. Buy a large leaf sold in the supermarket.

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 have had the same problem as you. I am on opioids for back pain and do the following: every night have 3 capfuls of miraliax; followed by three tablets of RELISTOR, a prescription medicine for opioid induced constipation. that is the only thing that works for me at this moment in my long digestive journey. Relistor belongs to a class of drugs called PAMORA, something you might want to google. I don't know if people who are not on opioids will qualify for this scrip but it sure worked for me.
In addition I have had a chronic motility problem for decades, and when things get bad, I go to a responsible colonics therapist, who is also an RN, so she knows when a person's condition would not be compatible with colonics. That procedure will provide relief for even the worst cases, provided you qualify, your practitioner is responsible and you can afford it. Regretfully insurance does not cover it

to continue my own comment above (shh418), when I say chronic motility problem, my ability to eliminate shut down many years ago, due to overuse of laxatives, specifically a pill that has been taken off the market called "correctol", which had a harsh chemical in it. due to this shutdown, I have had to rely on enemas for decades. In addition, I had surgery where a machine called an interstim -- a colon stimulator -- was surgically installed in my lower torso; it eliminated the need for enemas for awhile but eventually stopped working. so I've been thru a lot with this issue and am offering these suggestions in the hopes that you will find relief. for temporary relief, colonics is a sure hit, providing you are able to handle it. so I would google around for qualified colonics therapists in your area and see if it is an option. then go once a week if you can afford it, until a better solution arises. all the best to you!

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.

I am sorry your experience was bad with his supplement, but I find it the best. Please let me know if you have any questions. He is an incredible Doctor devoted to help patients. Thank you for reading this.

I eat polenta every time I have the slightest digestion problem but I grew up with it and make it myself. Fermented veg (which I also make myself) seem to help, as well. Good luck, it must be terrible for you.

@quinosnora how do you make the tablet? What is “get and freeze it”?
