...Mg.
The other thing with definitely liquifies every stuhls is high enough pure ascorbic acid powder by titrating to bowel-tolerance: http://doctoryourself.com/titration.html
But don't use caps or tabs for such high doses, because of the not so heathy binder and fillers.
So now, what does work, especially to soften stools, that isnt colase ?
bro, don't speak wrongly and judgment ally. I have tried magnesium and vitamin c and lots of "natural " things , like carrot salad a la ray peat. So its a weird assumption I have resistance to it. Just bc I didn't mention it necessarily while going over the most recent stuff and having a general emergencyI'm always amazed at the resistance even to try something as simple, cheap, safe and effective, as Mg and ascorbic acid. And instead prefer to stick with the suffering...
Though even my ~80 years old father, totally averse to supplements, out of desperation when constipated for weeks with nothing helping prescribed by his doc, finally did try it. Though he did find it somwhow too extreme to have a bowel movement every day. Therefore he got creative, left out the Mg, and only went with 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid powder ever second day. Works like a charm to heave a bowel-movement every second day for him. And never experience constipation again.
So its a weird assumption I have resistance to it. Just bc I didn't mention it necessarily while going over the most recent stuff and having a general emergency
I have tried malic acid and magnesium and vitamin c but maybe not in high enough doses.

What form do you recommend ? Vitamin c and malic acid have worked well for me in the past but that was before such extreme opioid regimens.
I took huge doses, maybe my bowel tolerance on opioids is like 15g lolBy definition you tried ascorbic acid, but not by titrating to bowel-tolerance in high enough doses to experience a flush, as I informed clearly. Here the best definition and explanation of 'titrating to bowel-tolerance':
If I took low dose naltrexone at the dose range it is , like .5 mg to 4 mg I would immediately have precipitated withdrawal and horrible pain most likely. One has to work up to it and ULDN is also supposed to be effective at a lower dose. Nobody really knows this besides besides rat studies but the human anecdotes and my own experiments suggest it will do this harmful thing in 5he range of .5 mg to 4 mg. now, if you are on a more moderate dose of pain meds and you start the LDN before taking the pain meds, it will do what you say. but I'd you33 on 180 mg oxycodone a day and just 5ake an LDN pill it will 5throw you into hell most likely. Have to take uldn or vldnLow dose naltrexone often enables you to get effective pain management with taking a lower dose of opiod and that in turn can also mitigate the constipating effect of opioids to some degree
Thanks. Miralax will be next thing I try. What I really need is another stool softener bc straining 5his much is bad for my surgical wound and backIt's not unusual for GI's or colorectal surgeons to prescribe aggresive use of Miralax for however long it takes to soften the stool enough to move it along in fecal impacted cases - as much as six or eight sachets a day and disimpaction of fecal loading with the likes

Wait what??? What makes u think that. It's only been a day since you brought it up. I already started taking higher doses of vitamin c. Jesus...So after all you still don't understand or want to try? And my original assessment, that the resistance to try titrating to bowel tolerance is so persistant, that most would prefer to stick with the suffering many more months. Nothing judgmental, but just as it is.
It is judgmental. Not even in the sense of being harsh or mean spirited but in the sense of making a judgment without enough information, about someone else. It's been two days max since I posted about this and you replied. It often takes me weeks to implement a new treatment, but in this case I've already sent my caregiver, who preps all my supplement drinks or whatever, the info on this and I've already upped my dose of vitamin c.And my original assessment, that the resistance to try titrating to bowel tolerance is so persistant, that most would prefer to stick with the suffering many more months.

I was interested in coffee enemas for multiple reasons, detoxification and also helping bowel movements , but I have hemorrhoids and I read stuff about them being unsafe?? I have done the medically approved fleet enemas once now... anyway I dont understand what makes them unsafe, is it that coffee is not sterile, also I managed to do a fleet enemas without causing bleeding despite having hemorrhoids, so i think maybe it's possible in generalHi @frozenborderline -- I haven't read in detail your difficult situation, but have you tried daily coffee enemas for both pain management and regularity? I could fill you in on my own long-term success with each using daily CEs if you're interested. -- Going down for a nap right now, but will check in later...
