Thank you... actually I don't take any meds..& eat a relatively healthy diet. The sudden change happened May 1st... & the round of tests/info I've gotten seem to point toward some scar tissue or adhesions. The colorectal surgeon wants to try other options before surgery (which I guess is good). But it's been 3 months of discomfort.. very little eating & im confused. The GIs just prescribe Linzess (which doesn't work)... the surgeon is gone for two weeks & im trying to figure out what to do & what surgery would actually entail!
