Tortuous colon. Surgery or not?

Thank you. I need something I can take daily. I want to try Slippery Elm and wondered if it caused the bloating and discomfort that Marshmallow Root causes. I'm trying to continue to find natural solutions to my 23 years of constipation from 5 surgeries, adhesions, and Redundant Colon. I am vegan and gluten free. I exercise daily. I have NO BM stimulation at all on my own.

There is an optimal quantity of slippery elm to take, and that depends on the product. I likely take it in its strongest form, inner bark powder, and I make a tea. If I take too much I get mucous (as it supports the mucosa, right?); so I don't take too much. I don't have any advise to offer on the chunky slipper elm products. I didn't get bloating, etc., but I am not prone to it. I believe it helps me.
