Motility issue

Hi there!

I have a question about motility/peristalsis/"lazy colon". I had a flare lasting about a year with constant terrible diarrhea. Now that I've been on entocort for a few months, the diarrhea has completely subsided, and I have my life back. BUT I have been having terrible constipation. I know that I don't drink enough water and should probably exercise more... But I was wondering if it's possible that my intestines had gotten so used to not needing to push anything through that the muscles are weak and thus can't push anything through. Do you have any thoughts or advice about this? Thank you!
