Thanks for chiming in. I don’t have Gastroparesis. Eileen does. I passed my stomach emptying test fine. My severe constipation is because of no colon motility. I can’t move my bowels without meds. I was scheduled in Boston for total colectomy but canceled, rescheduled and canceled again. I just feel doctors have missed something and don’t look at the whole picture just my large colon. I’ve learned a lot going to all naturopathic doctors but I’m not any better. It is very disappointing and I’m back to a newer motility Gastro doc this month. I have some testing suggestions but it’s never easy convincing them. Since I have been on Mayo blog for a while now it just amazes me how many suffer from what you and Eileen have and also what I have. I do think someone at some point will have some idea and I’ll try it and it will help. Blessings, Joanne

Did you every try homeopathic doctor?

@Joanne I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I have a feeling that the Bentyl I took for years may have caused mine but not sure. Could have been the diabetes. Now Bentyl doesn't work for me. First time I took it for stomach pain I thought I had gone to heaven. I was positively euphoric. It felt so good to not hurt. Have either of you tried Bentyl? Judy
