Oh my goodness!! Have you tried the Trulance?? And I also Miralax every PM at dinner with a full glass of water..some days it might take 2 doses of Miralax.. somedays I can go without..and I do try to drink 3 bottles of water a day..and eat one Thomas Multigrain English Muffin (the wheat one has sucralose..a gut bacteria no-no) with Country Crock plant butter every night..(8 gr fiber) and 2 Vanilla Plant based Ensures a day (5 gr fiber each) and a VSL3 Probiotic..daily.. good probiotic..Amazon has them.. have to be refrigerated.. they ship them really well with I think it's dry ice..pricey.. but really worth it.. I pray some of this helps you!!

Unfortunately this is a five year ordeal for me and nothing works. I was drinking too much water and was diagnosed with hyponatremia, who would have thought.
Now Gastro cut me to 32 ounces per day, at most. Fiber binds me even more. My diet is extremely limited. No dairy, no gluten and no sugar. I get about a quarter cup of mashed fresh carrots a day and that is about all I can handle for fiber. Carbs are another issue. I blend a lot.
Thanks for the advice but I’ve tried everything. Beware of MiraLAX because for whatever reason it’s what most doctors prescribe. I don’t get why.
It has PEG and the safety of it daily. They say it’s fine short term but no studies done long term. It concerns me.

I see you have said that Sucralose is a gut bacteria no-no. I take Metamucil, 1 T in 8-10 oz of water twice daily. It has Sucrose in it. Is this the same thing?
