Wow. You have had a lot to deal with. So sorry. Have you gone to a gi Dr. Had any gi testing?barium swallow? Ph impedance testing? Motility testing? If I was in your position even though you don’t want to do to Dr. I would 100 percent go see a gi Dr! Give you peace of mind as well as a diagnosis. 😊

graceym1,
Yes, I have had all the tests you mentioned. I was with the same GI for 17 years: celiac biopsy, CIC, chronic idiopathic constipation, fecal impactions, small bowel partial obstructions, 2 resolved by me quit eating solids, using meal replacement protein shakes (my daughter is very knowledgeable about which is best for me, or I never would have used them). The 3rd one landed me in ER, ICU, gastric nasal tube for 3 days. Then 3 anal blockages that required digital removal, by me. So, I still don't eat a lot of solid foods, and I have to take miralax every day.
I don't ever believe that a Dr. can give me peace of mind. Just the thought of it makes me break down sobbing or LOL. I have had CT's, MRI's, biopsies, x-rays every 1-2 months, always showing I have heavy fecal load in large intestines, I guess that means I am quite literally full of 💩💩. Thanx, for your suggestions. Shelley
