Unbearable constipation/Blockage ect. I found the cure for me .hope you find relief as well.
I take 200mg chelated magnesium every day (chelated is not necessary, just happens to be what I have and it supposedly is better absorbed in the intestine) - negligible calories and works a treat. Has also cleared me of night cramps which plagued me for years.

Please also keep in mind that having a sufficient amount of fat in your diet is also an important factor. People who severely limit their fat intake post-op usually have far more trouble with constipation than those who don't.

Did we ever think we would be talking about constipation on a message board? Probably not. At least, I didn't. I had problems for a long time. I tried many things. I'm almost 7 years out and have finally found what works for me. I chew Fiber Gummies (6/day). They do have 5 carbs per serving which is 2, but have 5 grams of fiber. I also add fiber powder to my shakes. I just started taking one or two Sennokot tablets at bedtime if needed. The Ducolax gives me severs stomach cramps.
I have made several of the Muffin in a Minute versions, but I haven't liked the taste the flaxseed gives, but that is a good source for fiber.
Thanks for sharing what worked for you.
