@bell67 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sounds like you've been through a tough journey just to have a normal BM. I'm glad to hear you are seeing a doctor who specializes in your condition.
Fellow members in this discussion who've talked about dyssynergia defacation may have some thoughts for you about what has helped with their conditions and if they've been able to do it without bisacodyl (Ducolax). Please meet @maggie1942 @aznelson2426 @jlstjohn @ltarashuk and others here.
What makes you want to stay away from the bisacodyl (Ducolax), bell67?

@lisalucier hello, good to hear from you. My main concern with taking the Dulcolax was becoming dependent on it, and also if it stops working. My doctor at MNGI told me to continue using it. I think he wanted to see how the Bio Feedback will work. So far I have had three sessions. Doing just ok. I feel like the MiraLAX softens the stool, but frustrating that I can not push it out. The nights I take the dulcolax I can go at some point during the day. I would say it is stool combined with a lot of water. I am scared I am not going to figure this out. Open to more drastic measures if need be. I’m 67 and tired of dealing with it.
Also, I have been very emotional this summer. I had a complete knee replacement in June. Honestly, that was easier than all of the bowel issues. Our daughter in law is not doing well with stage 4 colon cancer. My husband has Parkinson’s. A lot going on. I just want to feel well and try to be able to mange my issues, so I can be there for my family.
Probably more inform than you wanted!
