Slow transit constipation and surgery

Hi, I just wanted to add i cut back on stimulants, now stomach is calmer but the constipation is worse. I got put on them last year, but am afraid of everyday use, even if a Dr says its safe. Im getting a sibo test in the mail, so we will see what that says. My constipation just aggravates my body and inflammation. This weekend my Epstein barr virus reactivated, i missed my pelvic floor appt, just makes me so frustrated. Im just lost as what to do. Sorry this may seem like a blah, blah, poor me, but i have little support, and all of this is driving me mad. Ive in the past taken breaks, try not to think about it, free myself of appointments. I might get a little rest but that is time ive lost not working on this. Ive had most of my young adult life being plagued by this. I want an independent life, but my body is fighting against itself. Burn out is here again.

@januaryjane I understand how frustrated you are. It took 10 months to get a diagnosis after my local gastroenterologist PA did no testing just told me to take MiraLAX for the Constipation. I waited 10 months to get an appointment with another hospital system. He had me tested to determine my diagnoses. Then that gastroenterologist retired. Waited several more months to see another one who I have only seen twice. I tried several antibiotics that did not work. Now he is retiring. I have appointments for second opinions at two other health care systems. I need someone who can work with me regularly. I also have been undergoing pelvic floor therapy for 20 sessions with few results. They keep telling me to control my stress. But no remission for my OMI is making my stress rocket.
I have appointments with two other health care providers over the next two months in hopes for better care.
