Avoid carrots and rice, take some probiotics, drink a lot (warm in particular: soup, chamomille), walk, eat some steamed vegetables.

Slippery elm capsules work for me. Mine are slippery elm bark, certified 370 mg. Natures way brand. Plain old drugstore buy. It says the dose is 4 caps three times a day, but I find one cap at bedtime does it most of the time, and if not I add one in the morning. I'd start low and see how it works if you choose to try it....I also take 1000 mg of magnesium daily.

If you can't manage capsules you could get some bulk herb and make tea...

Pumpkin is great. I can manage rice but couldn't for the first three months I had this. I agree with warm water. Easier on the gut.

Pumpkin is interesting! I wonder if something like winter squash would be the same....

Zantac and Mastic Gum can create constipation in some people.

Prunes don't work for Zantac-created constipation. Neither does Colace nor Lactulose (they'll bloat you up with gas instead).

Dulcolax does work, and it is pretty safe for long-term use. If it comes to that. Hopefully it doesn't.

If your constipation isn't caused by H2 blockers or PPIs, then maybe Align probiotic will work. Also try Chlorella (broken-cell-wall) - it is well-studied and creates a beneficial environment in the bowels/colon.

I read on webmd that chlorella can cause stomach cramping, not sure it is the safest thing to eat for somebody who can't eat raw fruits of vegetables.

Winter squash and pumpkin should definitely help.

If you want to learn more about what to eat and not to eat that could help, get the book "heal yourself with vegetables, fruits and grains" by J. Valnet. It is an old book but it describes which foods give constipation and which help relieve it.

Winter squash should do the trick. Soups, mashed, however you can eat it.

I take chlorella together with PepZin GI, thus bypassing the potential stomach cramping. Also, the recommended dose of two tablets (chewing on them) is miniscule.

Where did you get the PepZ, I was reading the ingredients on the bottle, there are a lot of additives.
Before gastritis, I never had a constipation problems. Because I ate raw fruits and veg everyday. Now my stomach can't tolerate any of it, I wonder if I ever will be able to.
I was reading that chlorlerra removes all the toxics in the body, I have been eating a lot of fish lately, I wonder if that would help to remove the mercury that fish has.

Went to GI specialist ,put me on amitiza for my chronic constipation, from my poor diet, need fruits and vegetables to have good movements. Hope it helps..
Took 3 dulcolax last might and nothing this am.
Has anyone had a gastric emptying nuc med test? I've had every test out there, and I still can't tolerate raw foods. After supper, is my biggest problem, my stomach aches while food is digestiong. I don't have any problems for breakfast or lunch or my inbw snacks. During the day.

Yes, I've had the gastric emptying study. I have mild to moderate gastroparesis.
You show up empty, they give you irradiated food, usually scrambled egg...you lie down on the xray table and lay still for 90 min while it makes it's transit. Not pleasant, but not painful other than for having eggs on an empty stomach and that may just be me due to my having had bariatric surgery.
I brought a headset and listened to music and then book on tape. They also had a dvd player just above my head to watch a movie if I wanted.

What's the treatment for this condition.

I too had a gastric emptying study. They found that my stomach works slower than normal. The doctor prescribed Domperidone (I think another name for it is Motilium).

This medication has helped me tremendously. The stomach works faster, I am always hungry and feeling much better overall.
