Yes, you are too young to have to live like that for the rest of your life. I am 76 and don 't want to live like this for the rest of my life and my life is probably way shorter than yours. Wish there were some answers.

Having stool inside me despite doing the colon cleanse pre colonscopy was a surprise to the doc who did the procedure. They had to flush me out before they could do this. I was going all liquid for #2 6-7 hours before this and could not have imagined anything solid left in me. My next appointment is with a motility specialist here in Minneapolis, but my thinking is that I need to get a referral to Mayo since it is close, and their reputation in the GI sector. Perseverance is hard to keep up at times, but I have to see this through because as you said, I am too young to have to deal with this for another 15-20 years.
