I finished my third round of antibiotics and had my follow up with the gastroenterologist a week ago. Prior to my surgery I had chronic constipation and learned after my surgery my colon twisted becasue it wasn't anchored. From the time I was a small child I suffered from horrible constipation probaably due to intermittent twisting. Anyway, my GI now has me on IBgard 2x per day, Align 1 x per day and Colace everyother day. I still don't know when bowel movements will become normal. It has only been 1 week on this regimen and I have had 1 bowel movement. But no pain or diarrhea.
I will keep you posted. We will see how long this lasts. He said recurrent intermittent antibiotic treatment will be necessary. Thoughts?
