Hi
I have your condition as well as colonic inertia. My bowel has stopped working. I recently had a colonoscopy which has to be abandoned due to the paediactric scope could not get through. I had a Scan using a scope and gas to widen the bowel and take photos. So I have got to the stage where all conservative options have been tried and failed. My colon is stringy and has large blockage. I have just had this scope done so waiting to see WHEN I will be having surgery. I will be having an end ileostomy and will have a stoma and bag. I am looking forward to the completion of this surgery so I can finally have some quality of life. At present I have to be careful what I eat so I dont cause large stools. The only way I can have a bowel motion is by using a bowel prep picasolax once a week. These conditions absolutely drain you. I wish you well. I am in New Zealand.
