Location: Nebraska | I would try going paleo. It's definitely helped me, even just eliminating gluten from my diet. I was also put on a pill called Linzess for the pains I was having. It's labeled for IBS-C but I don't feel like I went any more often than before. After I cut out grains, I have felt a lot better. Linzess might be worth asking your doctor about, though. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | Oatmeal or fruit smoothie for breakfast, snack almonds, Lunch have a salad your choice of meat, turkey, chicken of fish, Dinner salad and beans your choice of meat be sure to have an apple once a day ,,true an apple a day keeps the doctor away ... Prune juice twice a day. Keep a water bottle handy at all times. Take notes on what you eat everyday. Try eating water mellon every day it contains water and fiber. By eating lots of fruit and veggies it will help in unclogging your pipe line and have you flowing in no time. |

Location: TEXAS | I'm the exact same way. Tried all the drinking water, eating more fiber, exercise (I ran collegiate track so I got plenty), and over the counter laxatives and I stayed backed up. Now I use Zeal cleanse pills. It's not a cleanse like you have heard of before. I can take my pull and then the next afternoon I go nice and normal like everyone should. I will never go without these. They are all natural and not a laxative so safe for continued use!!! |

| Thank you so much everyone for the advice. I started drinking more water which is helping a lot, just need to remember to drink it this often. I'm going to look into a lot of what you all suggested! My stomach says thank you ;) |

Hopefully you find something that helps you! Been there, done that and it sucks! Since I've been grain free, I've been really regular. I'm kicking myself for not doing it a lot sooner! I've been gluten free for almost 3 weeks and have been regular for the past 2. |

How do you get your colon unkinked? Surgery? How did they find that out? |

| I have had this problem for 18 years. Seems like the only thing that help me was McDonalds like you said lol. Makes you wonder whats in that food. It would sometimes take me 2 weeks before I went at all. And I ate every day. Imagine how miserable. I have tried everything you can think of. I went to the doctor and dumped out on the table everything I have tried and he was speechless. I have done everything with my diet and tried all sorts of over the counter stuff. Finally my grandpa gave me aloe vera. Now there are alot of types of pills like this and I tried some and they didnt work. Avoid the Aloe Vera gell pills because they didnt work. Try Aloe Vera Leaf and Latex 500 mg pills. Its by Botanic Choice. My grandpa takes 1/4 of a pill a day and it works for him. I have to take a whole pill because my case is a lot worse. It runs in our family. Hope this helps. |
