Hello @januaryjane,

I know that you have posted in many different discussion groups here on Connect and you appear to have a variety of health problems. I'm sorry to hear of this slow-transit constipation. That can really be difficult to treat. I have that as well due to three digestive tract surgeries. It is not easy to deal with it.

I'm interested in learning as Amanda (@amandaburnett) said as to what you have tried so far.

One year ago at age 96 I was discharged from my 4th episode
of a blocked intestinal tract. First episode way back 60 years ago they removed a section of my intestines and spliced it together. Last 3 episodes self-resolved with week of nasal tube draining bile from stomach. Last session (CAT scan confirmed no blockage) but have manifested paralytic ileus ever since and have been managing it over the past year with liquid protein and puree canned vegetables and fruit diet with laxative every 4th day.
