trying the olive oil!
chronic constipation ....due to narrow intestine caused by a screwed up tumor removal
specialist directs me to take daily Metamucil..........but BC Cancer Agency SAYS NO!......
who do i listen to ? ...........do not want another blockage!

Cancer Agency
Do not take any product that will increase stool size such as bulk forming agents
that contain psyllium (e.g. Metamucil)

Bowel medications
You may notice your bowel movements are smaller and occur less often. To prevent
constipation, you will need to take medications/laxatives to have regular bowel
movements that are easy to pass.
Consult with your doctor before taking any bowel medications or changing your
diet to deal with your symptoms.
You may need to adjust the type or amount of medication that works best for you.
Speak with your doctor or a pharmacist for help with your medications.

I will try tablespoon of olive oil in addition to the Linzess 290 and two stool softeners that I take daily.
