@william1543 I take a teaspóon a day for about a year now. In December of 2024 I was hospitalized for a SBO due to adhesions. I was struggling with taking miralax all the time, changing my diet etc. Finally a friend told me about olive oil. I have taken it daily since. I stopped for about a month once and ended up with an SBO again. Thankfully I recognized the symptoms this time and started my olive oil again, I had to take miralax that time though to help as well as go to an all clear liquid diet. I am back to olive oil daily and no problems.
Good luck. I hope it works for you also.
Ps my nutritionist at Mayo also gave the ok for the olive oil and I found studies on it as well

@sI will try a teaspoon of pure olive oil daily and hope that it helps. The Linzess 290, stool softener, Dulcolax, and warm water enemas are tiresome and give me intestinal gas, bloating, and diarrhea, but at least cause a bowel movement
