Suggest Treatment For Constipation After Intestinal Surgery

I would like to know how to get my dr to listen to me and instead of offering me a pill, find the problem and lets fix it. since 2005 when they took my intestines out untied them put them back, I have had stomach and bowel problems. I eat and it stacks up in my stomach, I never empty when I actually do have a bowel movement after probotics, miralax, exlax, and fiber sublements. then my stomach gets rock hard and it seems to just sit full up to the breast center and I am miserable, so I tend not to eat or eat light also I have had 5 back surgeries and do take 2 narcotics daily and cant move around a lot but I do go around yard and house a lot just to keep moving, any sugetsions.

HI
Well come to HCM
For the intestinal surgery it is long being gone, constipation may not be due to that, in my opinion no need to be over conscious for constipation, better to stop taking narcotic drugs because this may be the cause of constipation, drink plenty off water, have more fiber containing diet, go to toilet regularly even if you do not want to go still go in and sit there for some time without applying any force no matter if you do not pass the stool, hope this information helps, take care.
