Colonic Inertia Diet?

Hi Everyone. I am new to this forum, so I guess I'll share a little bit about myself.

For the past two years I have been having all kinds of digestion problems. It took a year for me to find a doctor who realized I was having problems more serious than just being constipated. Last year though I had a colon re-section where 5 inches of my colon were removed because my colon was moving around, not attached, and starting to prolapse. I felt pretty good after recovering from the surgery, and continued to take lots of Fiber. We couldn't figure out what caused all the problems, even after the colonoscopy (which happened before my surgery). It just didn't make sense- I was 19, ran half marathons, and ate pretty healthy.

This past October I started having problems again. I went back to my doctor and we started doing more tests. Last week, after the Sitz marker test, i was told i have colonic inertia. Now i am taking amitiza, using miralax, and benefiber to try and help digestion.

My question is does anyone know of a book or have any recommendations regarding what foods are good and bad for someone with colonic inertia? I am determined to figure out what i can eat that will not cause huge problems. Currently, I have extreme bloating and nausea, plus that always full feeling after no matter how little you eat. Does anyone know of anything that helps with the bloating?? I look pregnant everyday! I am just looking for tips on dealing with colonic inertia.

Thank you.

hm ok thanks!

No, my colonic inertia is not bad enough that I am even considering having my colon removed. My doctor said I should be able to use the meds, miralax, and fiber with a healthy diet to be ok. So, yes, that is what I am trying to do too....just figure out what works. Do you know anything that helps with the bloating??

Thanks,
Mel

thank you very much!
