Constipation used to be my problem until obstruction started. Used to be impacted. I take restoralax every day and have a movement several times a day. Seems that this narrow portion of my small bowel must be the problem. Found that corn made me have a partial obstruction last month. The 2 prescriptions I am on are supposed to help but it still flares up once in a while. I am keeping a food diary every day. The GI specialist told me this past January there is really nothing else they can do for me. Seeing a surgeon was my suggestion when I was hospitalized in August and the doctor there is referring me to a surgeon.
