I agree! It really takes a toll on your overall health and from what I gather, there isn't a long term treatment available. I have Gastroparesis so I understand the low motility. I also have to take something to keep me going as well as do a Miralax clean out every couple months. It's not fun but when I went to Mayo last summer, I hadn't had a BM in over 29 days. It was awful. It's a tiny better now but because of the motility issues, the bacteria thrive. It's not easy to keep it under control even while doing everything recommended. It'd be wonderful if there was a magic pill but I think it's going to be a lot of trial and error as well as acceptance. I'm glad the Pepto is helping! I haven't found anything yet... It took over a decade to finally get a diagnosis and put a name to what I had. Now just more and more seems to go wrong lately. It's very frustrating....
