There exists a product made by HEALTH PLUS, INC out of Chino, CA.
(800-822-6225) called, "Super Colon Cleanse" that I have used for years
to combat the effects of the adhesions interferring with normal bowel
function. It is a remarkably good product and quite effective, though
I've had to resort to taking as many as ten capsules a day. At least,
it isn't a habit forming laxative that can create it's own problems!
Hope you find it helpful.
