Can't 💩 on Sema? SOS!

Fruit is counterproductive for protein but it's not permanent - eggs and Greek yogurt tend to be the tolerant starting point when meat and nuts aren't working.
 
A full obstruction at 5 weeks is the severe end of the constipation spectrum - it's a medical emergency that requires intervention rather than OTC management. Anyone experiencing that level of GI shutdown should go to urgent care rather than trying to manage it at home.
 
Mag07 is the next step when osmotic laxatives and fiber supplements have plateaued - the oxygen-based release mechanism is different from either and tends to produce results when the other options have not. Starting at the lower end of the dosage range and adjusting up is the right approach when switching.
 
magnesium is the first move for most people in this situation - the osmotic effect works well and it's easier on the system than stimulant laxatives. the high-protein low-fiber trade-off is real, you end up managing two things at once. talking to your doctor is worth it if it's been more than a few days because the options they have go further than what's over the counter
 
I stir a laxative powder into coffee first thing and by noon it's handled. Could also do a bigger dose to clear out fully, then bump your fiber afterward to stay ahead of it.
 
What time of day do you usually take the laxative? Planning to pick some up from the store myself. Also is it fine to take that alongside fiber, obviously not at the exact same time?
 
Got my nightly routine down, a laxative powder mixed with a fiber supplement. Drink it out of a wine glass so the whole nightly ritual feels a little classier.
 
Adding onto what's already been said. For me personally I was already getting around 40 grams of fiber before this drug class backed me up. Had to bump that even higher, BUT layering in a digestive enzyme with meals plus prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods and supplements made a massive difference for me!
Fiber and staying hydrated are the core pieces. But for me that last bit toward keeping my gut genuinely happy turned out to matter a lot.
 
Dealt with IBS-D or some kind of digestive issue years back. Honestly never got a clear diagnosis, my GI specialist just settled on calling it IBS-D in 2020 since we couldn't pin down the actual cause. Plenty of trigger foods back then.

Managed to get it mostly under control over roughly twelve months before starting the second compound. Also have PCOS and my inflammation markers run consistently high. Between April and September last year I barely had flares, and when I did they were mild. Then starting around September I'd get an occasional bad flare, maybe once every month or two.

Started the second compound this past February and now I'm dealing with the opposite problem, constipation
Had two flares, but one followed a really rough steak and the other some greasy takeout. Clearly my own fault. Both meals landed on a Saturday, with my injection day being Monday. Otherwise I've been eating my old trigger foods without issue, even the occasional fried meal.

Remember being part of an IBS community here where tons of people said the second compound basically eliminated their symptoms entirely. That's exactly why I specifically wanted this one and waited two to three years since first asking about this drug class for that purpose before it finally started
