I've had about 90% of your symptoms and have played gut detective as you have. History of problems go back to my childhood--I'm now 76. Just a couple of months I agreed (yet again) to a colonoscopy. I've had several with a popular gastro group over a 15 year period. My current gastro doc took several biopsies in the colon. Results was Collagenous colitis. She put me on a 3 month long treatment of Budesonide. I'm almost at the end of two months and the change in my BM's and reaction to foods is very promising. The BMs have become less frequent and are now firm and larger. Sometime I will go 1-2 days without any BM at all. I take stool softeners to make sure I don't go longer than two days because of hemorrhoids. Also I've have a section of my colon removed because of diverticulitis and the surgeon stressed that I should not become constipated. Hope my history is in someway helpful. I pray you can find an answer soon. These conditions wreak havoc on our ability to enjoy our lives.
