Akkermansia is a probiotic I happened across reading review of something else. I tried it daily for about 5 weeks. It made a difference that seemed to stay with for a bit. Nothing works all the time. More of a tools for toolbox. Take 400mg magnesium oxide with 2 stool softeners nightly. Try to drink 12 oz water every morning on awakening. Helps stimulate the reflex in colon Occasionally a Pepcid AC it has 120 mg of magnesium that helps.
I have tried many things but a Gastro Dr recommended 3 Ballerina Tea. It works. Sometimes I tire of that tea each am and use the supplement called Emma or one called Women’s Digestive. Avail on Amazon.
I take Trulance every AM and a VSL3 probiotic..actually ..God turned on my bowels Oct 15th last year.. 2024.. I remember it so well..I had an appointment with a surgeon for surgery on a tortious colon.. didn't need it!! He sia ..what ever you are doing is working biofeed back whatever..I said .. the word works!! My personalized license plate is PHIL4:13 ..and when we came out of the dr office to get in the car, the was a note under the wiper (we discovered while driving in busy traffic in a large town . we are small town gravel road folks..so I told him .. we better get that off there!! And it was a not.. which read.."we read your license plate and are standing with you in faith that you are healed .. Christian sisters!!" ..It was a "God wink"..now I use Nahum 1:9 which in effect says God will not allow the same affliction to come upon you again!! KJV What do you imagine against the Lord"he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time...that's good news!! Glory to God!!
I have had the worst constipation problem almost nothing worked. What did work was Philip milk of magnesia liquid. Also I have grown kale in my garden and my daughter‘s been after me to eat more greens because she swears that would help me with constipation. So I had Two servings of kale and I had the best bowel movement I’ve ever had. Secondly, I always rely on soft prunes as they also provide me with relief. What’s good as of course these are all organic ways to deal with the problem. I have suffered with diverticulitis and constipations for years and I’m 81 years old. Try it. I hope it works for you.

For some people drinking a lot of water can actually cause constipation. I can't drink much water or I get constipated. My fluids need to have sodium and glucose (sugar) in them so my body can absorb fluids. Apple juice helps me and hot tea also helps. I drink powerade instead of water.

Yes! That is about the only thing that works. I have to make it super concentrated, but it's my go-to

Drink water, and I also take stool softener pills. If that doesn’t work I use suppositories. (Torpedo’s) a little humor never hurts.

@dbrunold and don't forget to walk outside for a while. In the sunshine if possible.
