Without Docusate Sodium (Colace), I get super constipated. There's also probiotic yogurts and fiber bars that might help. I've found that evaluating my diet and eventually cutting out dairy really helped me.

Affecting them in what way? Diarrhea or constipation? My EDS causes both

Prunes have become my friend. After a gastric emptying study, I'm right on the line of gastroparesis. I'm also IBS, and had my gallbladder removed years ago. Normally, going is hard for me, but I make sure to stay very hydrated, and have prunes, daily, to try and keep things moving. I hear fiber pills can also help, but I don't use them, personally.
