DanBev,age 90.was in reasonable good shape bowel movement until on Dec 21 Moderma booster shot crippled my legs,downhill since.
CANNOT get bowel to work properly or at all.Have tried everything,neighbor mentiong mineral oil now on secong day,morning,noon and night along with cologe with no effect..
My eyesight is blurry from some of prescribed meds which had an opiate in it which at the time I took for two weeks and quit and has not reversed,worse along wiith memory'very sad have had put home in trust to daughter and she and husband live with me becase I am crippled with very limited mobility.
I did have temporary help but could not afford it for long at $20 per hour.
Any help will be apprecia5ted.
covid and covid injections harm the gut bacteria -- esp the bifid family that inhabits the large intestine/colon. we've had great success with one capsule per day of bacillus coagulans (swanson brand). you also might consider other probiotics, whether foods or capsules.
two of my elderly neighbors started taking bacillus coagulans and their bm's returned to normal. one was habitually constipated, the other had persistent diarrhea. also helped other non elderly friends/family, if you go this route, be patient, it takes a few weeks to turn the gut around.
Like someone else said, I can't believe I'm posting this online but I go #2 twice a day, both times in the morning. So far everything seems normal! One big and one small. Sometimes I don't do the small one, but I make up for it with the larger one. Lord have mercy!

I agree probiotics help a lot. We ferment our own sauerkraut and man does that ever make a difference.

Haha. You should lurk on an Ozempic/Wegovy-related Facebook or Reddit group. Poop is the topic of choice, and I've learned more about it than I ever wanted or needed to know.
How many times do you ummm...
I've always thought that being "regular" is a sign of good health (digestive anyways).
Yes; as noted. I bet you have a lot of other good basic wisdom too. It gets ingrained young if we're lucky.

All of a sudden (so to speak) these questions all have new meaning.
KETO. I did a hard burn throughout 2023 (~25% of start weight over 8 months).
The only deleterious effect(s) I've experienced have been in the wake of weaning back to my 'new normal' menu and daily regimen.
As evidenced by my rejoining the Y just prior, I'm ready now to actually do that work; the swim and circuits phase of this whole adventure ...
About midway through the period I had a colonoscopy which I'm blaming for gut bio changes that increased the inevitable keto dehydration constipation.
Annoying to be certain but really not more.
Note: If my witchey friends had only been able to man-splain what they were saying at that time...
In addition to that adventure there were two purge episodes. The first of these, at the start, was a simple stupid and self induced food poisoning.
I don't recommend it but it really was a great jump start.
The other episode, at the very end (last Friday), was related to common methods used to deal with lingering constipation. NBD.
In my case however, I had a bit of backfire of some nasty acid UP into the stomach. At eight days in though I believe it's all er, passed.

Sometimes i blow up 3 times in a hour. And i also skip a day. Sometimes it is pudding and mush and other times more normal.
Aaaaaaand now I'm never eating chocolate pudding again. lol
