I feel the same way. I have been in emergency so many times...I have been to a specialist and they dont want to operate unless my colon falls out wich sounds pretty stupid and scary to me. I can't have a bowel movement myself I have to flush myself with a water enema every few days and for the last year and a half my stool has been yellow. So I know there are digestive issues. Iv been in the er many times with severe pain and they say yes you are very constipated. I am just not getting anywhere. I dont know what to do anymore.

I’ve just seen a pelvic floor specialist/colo-rectal surgeon. Definitely have pelvic floor issues which are impacting constipation. They are bringing in a new female gi that specializes in slow transit colon. Both In new Dept only treat women. I am so excited to maybe finally find help. In meantime, Motegrity, Amitiza, Miralax, 8-10 glasses of water and tbsp of mineral oil at bedtime. Maybe look into any of these you haven’t tried. I’m with you. This whole thing sucks. Trying to juggle what to take, not take, too little, too much. I’m at my sons this weekend. Didn’t go this morning so now I’m in a panic. Afraid to take too much last night because going to zoo this morning. Can’t win.
