Managing EDS-Related Digestive Issues

My EDS is affecting my stomach and bowels. Does anyone else has these issues and what do you to manage it?

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.

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.
