One of my friends was eating too much fiber and it caused blockage in his intestines. He started eating less bread and more protein and vegetables. Also 400 magnesium citrate morning and night.

Thanks for the info.
I'm doing fine right now on MiraLAX and prunes. I also eat much veggies, all steamed. Broccoli, green beans, brussels sprouts, asparagus and carrots. A large bowl of one or in combination every day. MX at 8am, BM by 9am.
I do a little walking and a therapist prescribed exercise routine twice daily.

Good point Wendy. Yeah too much fiber can have the wrong affect. I eat quite a bit of fruit and raw veggies, mostly carrots and sweet peas.

And thanks for your other suggestions. I am in the gym 6 days a week and rowing seems to help, getting my knees above my waist while rowing.

But I still need Miralax nightly AND Duclolax bisacodyl every other day and I know my GI guy says don't do that. But it's about the only thing that works. I've also cut out all refined sugar. I was stunned to learn a can of regular soda has seven teaspoons of sugar. I do feel better when I eat well.
