Very interesting! I have been doing the exact opposite. I thought a high fiber diet would be more helpful for slow motility. Thank you for telling me about your low fiber diet and please keep me posted on how things are go and any success you have coming up with a combination of possible solutions. This process is definitely a constant trial and error. It seems that if I find something that works, it soon stops working and I need to try something else. Nothing seems to be "the answer" for long.

I thought same. Gi only told me no fiber supplements. Dietician said high fiber and fibrous foods are difficult to digest so tend to move slowly and get caught up in kinks and loops. I’ve found I do feel less “packed”. However, still having problem getting things to move. Mineral oil does help but not sure about using it frequently. I’m trying to avoid using Motegrity as I have to
go on SS at the end of year and too expensive. So I’m experimenting to find alternatives before then. Have a virtual visit with dietician in morning, so hoping for more advice from her.
