Why was my post wooed? I know a lot of you think you are superior but I had the gastric bypass years ago and have to eat a lot of protein because of malabsorbption and because it stays with you longer. The doctor recommended taking fiber pills to all their patients. It is not rocket science or made up bs. I guess some of you are smarter than the obesity doctors.9

- Some people don't know what woo means and use that button for all sorts of reasons.
- I can only guess, but laxative misuse is pretty widespread and since OP didn't say anything about being constipated it's possible some folks thought suggesting it was inappropriate.

It could be. Despite all the vegetables, fruit, and foods people eat they can still have problems in that area. I don't misuse them. I wouldn't recommend that.0 -

My suggestion, which you can take or leave, is to switch from cow's milk to something like almond milk. Also, try to eat less processed food, in favor of fresh food closer to it's original state. Wishing you the best for figuring out what works for you

Fiber needs to be avoided at all costs with these conditions or constipation will worsen and transit time will slow even further. I suggest you get yourself tested. There are antibiotics/meds and dietary approaches for these conditions. Good luck!
I'm in a frustrating situation like this right now, sadly there are not many specialized gastroenterologists in town. I had a C-scope and I've been suffering with strange bowel issues for over a year (after having a perfect bowel since childhood) and my gastro just keeps telling me to eat more fiber. Maybe I'll need to track down a specialist out of town!1 -
Lemon Water.
Ginger, Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon. Drink as tea or at room temp41 -

How long without dairy would it take to find out, do you think? I've gone a week or two without dairy intake without a difference, just not sure if I should try longer!0 -

It wouldn't take that long to figure it out Usually you would see a difference within a few days of no dairy. 1 -

Reason for lemon water is that lemons have enzymes that help stimulate liver functions and excrete waste out of your body. Ginger aides in stimulating digestion, circulation and sweating (helps cleanse out toxins from colon, liver and other organs). Apple Cider Vinegar for bloat39 -

If you think you may have gastroparesis ask for a gastric emptying study (4hr solid food one). This test will tell you if you have it or not. It's not bad but long and boring lol1 -
do a salt water flush or drink some dieter's tea.
