Dear Marianne,

I have been dealing with this same problem for many months. My doctor(s) kept recommending Senecot and fiber to help me have a bowel movement. I was taking 12 Senecot +metemucil+stool softeners ,and still was not successfull. I discovered this herbal tea that seems to work better and gentler than any pill I have tried on the market. It's made by Traditional Medicinals-it's called Smooth Move and really really is the only thing that I can say works for me. Maybe it will help you too. It's active ingredient is Senna leaf-it also includes the digestive support of fennel, orange peel, cinnamon, coriander and ginger to ease discomfort, reduce cramping and enhance the flavor of the tea. Their web address is:

I hope this helps. When I am really bad(no movement for 2-3 days) I do use two bags to make it stronger. I have severe, excruciating pain when I have a BM and this also seems to be the gentlest thing that I have tried. They also have another tea specifically for constipation. I haven't tried that one yet because the Smooth Move has worked so well for me. I don't know what it's called, but I'm sure you can find it on their website. I had a laporotomy for the same bowel stuck to ovary,stuck to intestine, stuck to abdominal wall, etc ( + other things) as you did and have HAD to have some kind of stimulant or I just flat out won't go at all. Please email me if you have any questions or just want to talk with a fellow Non-pooper.LOL Good luck and God Bless.

Love Gloria
