Hello all I am new to this group I too was just told that I have tontuous colon a long with 1.) chronic ldiopathic constipation 2.) dysfunction constipation outlet 3.)rectocele 4.) diverticulosis 5.) some more polyps and 6.) adhesions from many abdominal surgeries.. Most days the pain is unbearable but I work through it, but I feel that I am short with family, friends, and people in general and that isn't who I am I am at a loss
I have no idea what would be the best way too deal with all this. I have tried all the meds out there different diets and now I just don't know what the best treatment would be. Help, ideas, any advise would be welcome. Thanks LaNette

Lanette, my doctor put me on amitriptyline which helps a lot with the pain. It's an anti-anxiety med, but apparently also helps calm down nerves in the gut. I also started the Plant Paradox diet, which also helped with the pain in a few days. It's not for everyone, but might be worth looking into. There is a whole website devoted to it, and 2 or 3 books.
