@kjs1964 I am so sorry for all that you are going through. I have had chronic constipation for years.
I have finally found a product, Prebiotic Acacia Senegal Fiber, and eating more green vegetables has helped. I go to physical therapy called Counterstrain, which can help with constipation. I don't know where you live, but you can look it up on the internet. Sometimes, it is called strain-counterstrain therapy. My insurance covers it, and I am blessed. Also, I walk every day, weather permitting. Winters are more challenging, so I go to a soccer field. Also, I am getting back into Qigong and Tai Chi active movements. They have a lot on YouTube - I used to do Yoga a long time ago, but motor vehicles stopped that. Then I started Qigong and Tai Chi, and I do the gentle movements; it helps and helps your whole being. Thanks for sharing
