Bowel Obstructions

Hello everyone,

I have SIBO and I initially thought it was hydrogen dominant, but my gut motility is insanely slow. The gastro said I would be on mirilax for life just to stop the possibility of me getting bowel obstructions. I have had two so far, once in 2019 and then again in April. It’s like my gut just completely stops moving and I get severely constipated, dehydrated, bloated, and usually ends with an NG tube sucking out all the food in my stomach to give my GI a chance to reset.

Last night I had to go to the ER for a possible bowel obstructions. Same pain and everything, but this time I was smart enough not to continue to compound food (I body build and I’m extremely disciplined in meals and meal timing)

Has anyone dealt with bowel obstructions from SIbo or have gotten sibo as a result? After my obstruction in April is when I was diagnosed with sibo when anything I normally ate (mostly dairy) would causes explosive excessive gas, diarrhea and it smells like absolute death.

What would you guys recommend for naturals ways of increasing my motility?

I am also scared that I might have to just stop bodybuilding in the mean time. Eating 300c / 200p / 75f seems like my body gets run down after a while.
