Hello @robinmacdonald

I can certainly understand your frustration. These are not comfortable problems to have! I am glad to see that you are following up with various tests. I hope that you will be able to reconcile these problems without surgery. I know that no one wants to have repeated surgical interventions. The 6/25 MRI should give you some good information.

I certainly do understand your physical therapy. I have also seen a pelvic floor therapist who also gave me massage instructions, as well as breathing exercises, ideas about diet, etc. It was helpful but not a cure-all.

Since going back to your "normal" eating plan is not working for you, I would keep with the plan that you were following until you get back the MRI results and understand better the problem. It could be that your digestive tract simply needs more healing time in order to get adjusted to the changes that resulted from surgery.

Will you post again and update me on how you are doing?
