I would try magnesium oxide capsules. I mean its worth a try? I normally take 2 caps twice a day until something happens. I use the twinlab magnesium caps. I dont have to use it much anymore. Another thing to try is a probiotic along with everything. I used to have horrible reflux and constipation, and probiotics daily seemed to eventually fix that. Always consult your doctor though.

Only three or four figs. I gave this recipe to my aunt and she’s relieved …

@Lilyofthevalley

Docusate sodium with the magnesium and probiotics helps too. Helps soften everything to make it easier to pass.
Some people use that bottled magnesium citrate stuff and it can work pretty quick too. But its pretty harsh, you gotta stick close to a toilet for that one.

A relative of mine uses a lot of magnesium oxide, docusate sodium, and lots of water for a week or two, then adds the pink dulcolax after that in combination with it. She gets things going better that way too. And she gets the constipation for weeks and that usually works for her?

Yes,but magnesium oxide gives diarrhea …

Magnesium is largely found in cocoa and that goes in my oat meal. 50g per making .

@POET , I eat a high fiber diet and I drink a gallon of water a day, have for years. Part of my intestine is paralyzed so that’s not helping. I already eat chia seeds and fruit and veggies, etc. this goes beyond diet. I also exercise too so it’s not that.

@Schizbro @Agent101g @michel

Thanks for your suggestions. I do take magnesium etc. I think it’s because a section of my intestines is paralyzed. I also take probiotics and prebiotics and eat chia seeds, oats etc

I don’t have any real advice. Only that I have been getting ‘harder-to-pass’ movements ever since it got hot again. I believe it is a hydration issue.

I can’t tell you anything your doctor can’t , but drinking more water may help.

Oh, and good luck!

Thanks @Vaiana He decided to add a third med (had to switch the 3rd one because it was crazy expensive) that I can pick up tomorrow. The 3 together will hopefully work

I had urosepsis last year due to constipation. I was very unwell. Low BP, and on oxygen for several days. Family here in Wiltshire were very concerned and distressed about how I was.
