Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

I have heard of Smooth Move tea. I will have to try it. The only thing the dr said after the colonoscopy was I can start introducing some more fiber into my diet, and they would go over it at my follow up appt. problem is, when they sent me the info on the appointment, it is not until Feb 11th, which does me no good now. The dietician had put me on iron because I was anemic and said I might need to take stool softener , but that is almost as harsh as the laxitive. The tea might be a good alternative. Thanks for suggesting it. I am sure now that this is going on they might move up the Feb appt. Hope you have a great rest of the week!

Hi @thull

If the stool softener is harsh for you, you might try making the tea very weak at first and see how your GI tract reacts to it. Also, barley is a great source of fiber that works gently through the GI tract. There are a lot of good soups with barley. You might try that as well.
Will you keep me posted?
