Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

I sure feel for you. I struggled for years with constipation and the ONLY solutions I have found are these: Miralax every day, Agiolax (Amazon) every day, 1 stool softener every day, MINIMUM of 1 liter of water every day, the FODMAP diet which takes a lot of study online and stopping the foods that they say to stop, no milk products and lastly being as close to an entirely vegan diet as possible. I eat as many fruits and vegetables that I can always mindful of the low and high FODMAP foods. Personally, I also have to only use Tylenol and not the Advil type drugs since they also constipate me. When my gut is OK, I am OK. It sounds simple but it is not easy. One choice at a time.

ditto except that I have found that I am able to eat more naturally without that FODMAP diet just following a whole food plant based diet and 12 prunes daily. I am totally sick to death of them but they do help. Yes about the water, yes about the Tylenol, yes about the Advil. I have that Agiolax but don't have to use it. I used to but don't need it as long as I do the whole food plant based thing. No meat and no dairy. That stuff is the same as the old Perdiem in the yellow can that my doc told me to use way back when I was in my 30's. Aren't we the most sensitive systems? My husband could consume rocks and not have trouble. Thank you for speaking up. It helps me not to feel like such a freak....
