@p95 have you tried colesevlam 625mg three times a day & dicyclone 20mg twice a day. That put a rest to my D that lasted 4y's. Eat & run. Horrible. Took 2-3mo's to become Constipated. Need Rx. But, tell Dr when you stop for 2-3days or we'll, this has landed me home since 12/2023. Please let me know how you're doing w this new brain to bowel theory

Thank you for your reply. I've now had the Axonics permanent implant for 3 weeks. I am experiencing less urgency and fewer bowel movements plus they are solid now so I have more time to get to the bathroom. It's the one with the rechargeable battery which is supposed to last for 15-20 years. Now I'm done in the bathroom by 8:30 am. I feel like I've gotten my life back! Yes, my gastro doc had me on a bile acid sequestrant (cholestryamine) and I tried Bentyle as well. Like I said, I've tried EVERYTHING. None of it worked for me. My problem is nerve damage - presumably from giving birth, which unfortunately has gotten worse and worse over the years.
