Constipation, weight gain, bloating

I wouldn't eliminate fiber but would cut down as it can have the unintended affect of worsening constipation (if that's possible). I'd add raw carrots and raw, whole sweet pea pods to your diet. Fruit and salad are excellent choices. You might also try a low sugar muesli eaten hot or cold with milk. It has fiber and is just good for you and should aid digestion without a fiber over load.

I use Miralax at night and then Duclolax every other day. I know I shouldn't be using this much Dulcolax but nothing else works, and I've checked all the boxes too. I don't recommend it.

Hope you find something that helps.

They had me on Linzess, miralax, dulcolax, Mg Citrate. I'm off all of those and am now on Dr Schultz's Intestinal Formula 1. That is much better for the constipation BUT, I still have the constant bloating and weight gain.
