@jlharsh Thank you for these links. My main concerns are that the amount of Miralax I am having to take is doing further damage to my system, that my bloating is so bad that I look pregnant, and that I have to eat a very limited diet with few fruits and vegetables to reduce the bloating somewhat. The 6+ caps of Miralax were what my doctor told me to do to keep my system moving while we worked on other treatments, but prescriptions actually make my condition worse and that was well over a year ago and we have found no other help for me.

I've been to 4 physical therapists and have been doing daily exercises for a year.

I've been treated for SIBO with different antibiotics 3 times and done the elemental diet several times. I've had EGDs, colonic transit studies, anorectal manometry, barium enema, and more testing. I've seen 6 GI specialists and 3 colorectal specialists.
