@standinginfaith hello dear heart, I'm just looking for answers too & I know you know the One who has all the answers. I said awe, c'mon Lord you put everything in their. We are uniquely & intricately made. Please, just but everything back, You know where it's supposed to go.
I'm Shawn & I have a long, redundant torturous colon too. I could not have another dinner date to expect pain & stomach to pelvic distensions. How are you? & I wanna know what your eating? I'm eating carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, beets. Hardly nuthin, but I learned last night I can't eat spinach & that was in w foods listed. My intestines tell me. They dictate my life. I also take vitamins. Drink 30g protein drinks all day. I've found that & activity, even going up & down stairs, has helped me w the slow, slow go. I'm regular officially today after depleting so much food. Told my grandson today, not living on much, I'm grateful I can eat & peep own food! But, if I get sick, game over. I will not be able to maintain hydration. Drinking gatorade zero all day too. I'm at 85#'s I feel better than when I was 80#'s. Too light for this 66yy kid

Hello to you dear heart!!! Oh I wish I had all the answers.. but I do know the one who does!! And I know you do too!! Praise HIM!! Weel Shawn.. I've been doing this for almost 5 years now.. after an antibiotic blew a hemorrhage in my stomach.. but have battled constipation all my life.. so anyway.. I have gone thru several phases of eating.. I have to laugh.. it changes as my symptoms change.. but.. I have been to a nutritionist (for leaky gut..6 months of that).. and had my gall bladder out.. ohh.. 16 trips to ER one year.. however..the very worst was using the ducloax.. but Jesus "turned the you know what on"!!! just in time.. so here's what I do.. I take Trulance..in the morning.. eat applesauce..I also try to drink 2 vanilla plant based Ensures a day.. you can get them on Amazon.. they have really helped with my vitamin and mineral levels.. and I drink Kinderlyte..8 oz glass a day.. it does not have sucralose.. oh sucralose will kill your good gut bacteria... and it hides in everything .. even English muffins!! I have trouble staying hydrated and Kinderlyte really helps (childrens section).. I also eat one Thomas multigrain English muffin for fiber a day.. with plant butter.. lately I've stretched myself out and begun eating Marie Calendars microwave Swedish meat ball dinners.. and Bob Evans mashed potatoes...and Miralax.. and alot of antinausea meds for pyloric stenosis...I have alot of health issues.. but Jesus has them all covered.. just waiting on complete manifestation!! I am delighted to hear you are regular!! Regular is the best way to be!! Praise the Lord!! My intestines dictate my life too..I'm 70 .. and not much of a life ...did you say you weigh 85..?? I got down to 98 to 104 for about 3 years and then.. I have ballooned up to 154.. too fat now..lol!! I never thought that would happen.. but I'm working on that too.. I think that the sweet potatoes are excellent (and wish I could stand them..ugh!!ohhh!!) ..they are very good for you!! And I think you are a winner!! You keep on keeping on and loving on that grandson!! I'm gonna pray for you and stand with you in faith.. for by His stripes we are healed!!!
