Severe Constipation after small intestine surgery
I have IBS-C, but since I had emergency surgery to remove part of my small intestine in Sept., anything I tried is not effective: Linzess, Miralax, stool softeners, Citracel, Milk of Magnesia, tons of water, fiber, etc. Any suggestions? Going to see GI nurse practitioner next week.

I’ve had numerous issues with a blocked bowel for years. I had surgery in May to loosen the scar tissue around it, but still have peridiodic issues. The ONLY product that has ever religiously worked for me when I’m constipated is Ex-Lax pills with lots of water. Senecot is a close second, but typically takes a day or so to work. I haven’t found a fiber supplement that works. I eat vegetables and fruits every day. Good luck to you.
