I frequently get a paralytic ileum. The intestines stop moving. My physical therapist can help get it moving again by working on my neck and upper back (TOS). When I am symptomatic in this area, my movements are like deer droppings. Very annoying.
Another issue that can effect women is hormones out of balance. One of the female hormones ( I forget which) causes the intestines to slow down. This is during the fertile part of the cycle.
A good hormone assessment may help. Check out

My best to you.
