I have the same
My small intestines are very narrow
Had surgery to untwist it
Then went to a Myofascial professional who taught me how to keep my very sluggish bowels open and moving. I do this every day
First start by massaging in counterclockwise circles the illiocecal sp? Valve at bottom right of intestines , then keep going up to the right then under the ribs ..at the center of V in rib cage there is another valve. Massage under rib cage .focus on that then keep going and gently dig fingers in and massage & activate large intestine
You are following the direction that the intestines flow. At the end put your fingers on your belly button and twist counter clockwise.
Keep doing the entire procedure until you feel/hear them gurgle.
Repeat the entire thing gently but firmly
Then massage belly lightly
It will start to produce gas and you will know it is activated !
I also take a lower bowel stimulator by Natures Sunshine when I am really bound up. Warm prune juice too
I have kept my bowels moving for 7 years AVOIDING a trip to the hospital with an NG tube in me!
Make sure that you are laying back and relaxed when you do this xo
