Carolinlv, a side note on enemas... I used them more than I would ever want to. But, my CIC, in the past 5 years have been sooooo big, bad, near the anus, that the poop blocked the holes of the enema, so I had to resort to gloved fingers to do the digital removal of enough poop to form a hole large enough to get more poop out.

Omg, that sounds terrible! I feel so bad you are going through this. I really know nothing firsthand about them (other than through my husband), which is the part that terrifies me most. Now I’m even more apprehensive! Thank you for sharing this information! I hope you are feeling better nowadays😢❤️

Shelley, I finally found your original post and realize my recent post with hopes of you "feeling better nowadays" seems unlikely. I truly hope there is a doctor somewhere that can help you. I am miserable but at no level that you must be feeling. Why is it so hard to get help for this problem? A good gastroenterologist seems impossible to find. They are readily available for endoscopies and colonoscopies but once those are done, I feel like they block my calls😭 I'm at my wits I'm just waiting for basic help. You must be ready to kill someone!😢❤️
