Hello @sensationalsmilesinc and welcome to Mayo Connect. From your posts I see that you have struggled with slow constipation for some time, now. How long ago were you diagnosed with this?

Many of us with this problem have had surgeries of the digestive tract or diabetes. Was there a surgery or other health issue which caused this problem for you as well?
