Thank you for keeping it simple and short.

Thank you. My sister had a stroke, constipation a huge concern. The liquid Fleet suppositories get immediate results, but only empties the colon. Not getting results with Miralax. Will try this massage and hope it helps. Thank you!

This works much better and easier if you use a body massager pressing firmly and rotating the head clockwise around your belly focusing in on the lower left where the hardened feces is impacted in the lowest part of the sigmoid colon. The vibration and pressure allow the feces the ability to flow around it's last corner to the anus. Vibration is the key as it gives the right viscosity to the feces to move. Do this while lying on your back. Your belly will give you feedback pains as to what is working. Very comfortable. Fifty years of gastroenterologists telling me the problem was in my head because they have no answers.

Since thousands of years (Egypt!) the optimal manner to overcome not only occasional constipation but chronic constipation too naturally will be taking castor oil. Remember that castor oil is the only laxative that will not work in the intestines by irritating them, but by activating and synthesizing certain substances in the human body. So any habituation of the human body or diminishing laxative effect is absolutely impossible and castor oil is suitable in a special manner for chronic constipation. Take 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach; eventuelly later a second tablespoon castor oil

How about if the bowel obstruction is on the small intestine? How should the massage look like then?

This helped me very well after drinking prune juice

I'm sorry I meant to say the Fleets liquid glycerin suppositories provide immediate relief, but only empties the rectum. Not getting results from Miralax except softening the stool. Hopefully this massage will help. Thank you!

It helped to start navkward from the left to move the umpacted area gently away first. ( I think!)

Wear a leotard of some kind. This is just sloppy. In addition, many sources suggest you start at #5 (your 1:45 time stamp), then go to 4, 3, 2, then 1, in order to create 'room' in the colon before pushing material forward. Best health to all.
