Hello everyone :

This is especially directed at Mayo.

Personally, I suffer from an unknown mystery condition ( in my mind this may be severe anxiety, nervous system issues / endocrine system issues) that seems to be interfering with my digestive tract.

I have gone through colon preps and failed completely - nothing moved at all. In fact it seemed like when I stop eating, my digestive tract stops moving as well. So when I started fasting, I got enormously backed up (no bowel moves after starting fasting) and nothing moved and then even a complicated colon prep failed to do anything. This included an extended treatment with a whole thing of miralax, ducolax and moviprep. X-rays after this failure showed extensive build up in the colon and anus.

All blood work seems normal, but I am convinced there is something seriously wrong.

Who can I work with to succeed in a colon prep in this difficult situation ? Would I be correct that a doctor rather than a gastero person is the place to start ? The gastero people I have spoken to are hung up on Miralax and cannot understand "miralax does not work"

Related note : Miralax does not help, it makes it worse, so I cannot do Miralax for X months before hand - it does nothing.

BTW Mayo refused to see me as a patient -- I would have to look at what I submit and who I submitted to.

Thanks,
Michael Hoffman
