Im dealing with severe colonic inertia. My stomach works fine, but my small and large intestine are essentially paralyzed. To manage it i am on a low fiber diet and do water enemas.
However half the time the enemas don't work as the stools get jammed up in the small intestine. Fiber is the literal devil and could probably kill me.
Im organising a fecal transplant to try as this problem started from dental antibiotics.
In the meantime id like to find a safe and reliable oral laxative to take 3x a week. Ive tried OTC senna and it works once then quits. Castor oil works but its a purge.
Many recommend intestinal formula #1 but i cannot get it in Australia.
Miralax is not safe and can cause permanent neurological damage.
Ducolax is one im looking at but im not sure of its safety. I preferably want something herbal.
Any advice is much appreciated. The frequent enemas seem to strip my mucosal Layer (tons of black ropey stuff comes out) which caused some irritation. So id prefer a laxative.
Regards
