Rosemary,
My heart goes out to you. Ive dealt with digestive issues since 3rd grade which was oh like.. 36 years ago but whos counting?!?! .... Been down some pretty rough physical trials and had gotten so bad that for several years, I just prayed that God would take me home to Heaven cause the physical digestive pains and challenges were so completely draining and ruined life. It was rough rough rough. Ugh and shudder. I got into Mayo in January and am working with a few departments one of which is the integrative department and a nutritionist through them. They put me on some supplements and the SCD diet and it has been life-changing!!! The SCD diet is the specific carbohydrate diet. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ It takes commitment and work to get going on it but its doable with the support of the nutritionist and my Mayo doc. Mention it to your Mayo doctors and see if they can guide you on it. Of all the diets I have been put on, I am having the most success with this one.
My best to you!

I don't know which way to go. Do I go the holistic way or the doctor's way to regain my health? I do not have a bowel movement for 10-30 days? Doctors think that I am crazy.
