@standinginfaith Oh, no. Your medical history sounds like a combination of mine and my dad's! I want to give you a big hug, because I know how awful most of this is.
Systemic sclerosis is suspected for me as well.
@standinginfaith
My heart goes out to you for all you’ve been told you have.
I had a good six year journey with a stomach issue, was put on a med that helped while I was on it, but symptoms returned when off.
Long story short, I turned to functional medicine. It was exactly what I needed!
If you live in California, you’re in luck. The functional medicine doctor I saw for 4 years is only licensed in California.
If you’re in another state, you’re can find one by city and state on ifm.org. Look for one who specializes in stomach issues.
I wish you the very best in finding the right issue or issues you’re dealing with that can be treated correctly.

@standinginfaith My colon doc told me that I have a permanently enlarged colon from taking MiraLAX daily. I had constipation before and now I have constipation, an enlarged gut, gas and cramps. Can’t win.
