Hi lisaluier,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm coming out of the flare-up and dealing with constipation. Much better! Fatigue is gone. Horrendous stomach aches are gone.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Have you been through all the testing? I think the colonoscopy basically cleans you out. I don't know if you've had one but the prep is basically poop your brains out to clear the colon before the test. I'm lucky I'm retired so I don't have to deal with work like you do. That must be so hard.
I have been all over the internet about this, ad nauseum. That's how I came across this website and I'm so glad I did! Hang in there.

Oh, thank goodness @janstur! I do gotta say though, it’s funny to hear how you feel much better dealing with constipation. We are absolutely opposite in that regard. 😀
I’ve had a colonoscopy, then an upper scope locally a maybe 5 years ago because of a thick stomach showing up on a CT I believe. I had an anorectal manometry that led me to Mayo’s bowel evacuation program 3 years ago. Recently, a gastric emptying test showed good transit times.
Glad we met here! The struggles are real and so, so difficult to explain to anyone.
What is next for you?
