Hi Joanne, suffered through many years, and many Gastro Dr's with chronic constipation. Finally found a Dr. who
did a colonoscopy/endoscopy, diagnoses, I have a tortuous bowel, with twists and turns, he even had trouble getting through my colon. Worth a check.

Thank you, but this past 14 months including tests you mentioned I’ve been through a ton more in Boston. Was scheduled for total colectomy this past September 29th but got to scared. I have severe chronic colon motility. It doesn’t move ever. I’ve tried every med OTC and prescription. It doesn’t work. I don’t go without laxatives which make me severely sick. I’m just looking for new ones that don’t cause severe pain. They say by shortening my plumbing I’ll never be this way away. Sounds wonderful but I rescheduled till January.I want to keep trying something new as often as I can. What do they give you for your problem.thanks, Joanne
