What to do about connective tissue disease & lack of intestinal peristalsis? i have high fiber diet, drink lots of h20, & exercise daily.

High fiber not good: Fiber will not increase peristalsis. Exercise and high fluid intake are good. Few medications improve peristalsis. Baclofen has been tried. In canada Cisapride is also used.

Try Triphala: The things you are doing are wise. I advise trying triphala, a combination of 3 fruits used in ayurvedic medicine, that can improve peristalsis- especially the component known as haritaki. See http://www.Onlyfoods.Net/terminalia-chebula-haritaki.Html and http://www.Planetherbs.Com/specific-herbs/the-wonders-of-triphala.Html triphala is quite safe and not habit-forming.
