Summary
The person described using transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation as the strongest way to stimulate gut motility and was trying lactulose mixed with psyllium to lower stool pH. They later reported that high-dose Bacillus coagulans, a mix of fibre and low-dose prucalopride at 0.5 mg daily seemed to be working very positively.

Their words about each treatment
- tVNS · Helped
For me, I found that tVNS ist the strongest way to stimulate the vagus nerve and to activate motility of the gut
In context ↗ - Lactulose · Not said
I'm currently trying to lower the pH of my stool with lactulose
In context ↗ - Psyllium · Not said
I mix it with psyllium to get a gel, which slows down fermentation
In context ↗ - Bacillus coagulans · Helped
Was aber aktuell sehr positiv zu wirken scheint, ist Bacillus coagulans sehr hoch dosiert
In context ↗ - Fibre mix (Ballaststoffe) · Helped
dazu viele Ballastoffe (habe zur Zeit einen wilden Mix)
In context ↗ - Prucaloprid (Resolor) · Helped
Prucaloprid bzw. Resolor nehmen ich nur niedrig dosiert mit 0,5 mg pro Tag (1/2 Tablette), das scheint aktuell zu reichen.
