@christylv Hi...I have been told I have CIC (chronic idiopathic constipation), IBS-C, and tortuous colon. I believe my lifetime constipation problems have always been caused by the tor.col. anyway, I have taken numerous different fiber supplements, forms of senna and one rx-Linzess. Not sure the Linzess helps at all...but mentally it gives me a bit of worrying relief. Currently I take one cap of Miralax with coffee in am & 1 rounded top Metamucil before dinner. Have a bm most mornings..a bit soft & loopy but I feel I got along of waste out of me! All my Dr's have told me both are OK every day for me. I still have uncomfortable belly most days. Hope this sharing helps!

In addition to these products for chronic constipation, I learned about abdominal massage when I went to pelvic floor therapy (PFT). The abdominal massage has been quite helpful to me in helping to deal with scar tissue from three previous surgeries.

If you have not yet been referred for PFT, this might be very helpful. Here is a link to a YouTube video that describes the technique I was taught: https://www.youtube.com/watch

I use this massage technique at bedtime.
