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

You have certainly been through alot. I’m sorry. I’m glad you have a knowledgeable daughter that helps you! Have you been to nyu or Columbia Presbyterian in nyc? Or Mayo Clinic? UVA? What are drs saying you have exactly? And why can’t they fix it?

In my experience Miralax gives me a lot of gas and cramping, I switched to colace
