I do plan to eventually see a GI doc if I can't get this resolved. (Maybe some sort of scar tissue??) I recently did Cologuard test, all normal. Past colonoscopy results 100% good. I do believe the issue is a result of Covid and my vaxes fighting in my intestinal tract. The vaxes doing what they were meant to do. Result was leaving a broken mess - not as bad as others I've read about on here (some still suffering with diarrhea). I'm hoping to not end up having to become a laxative user, but who knows. And yes, tried a course of Citrucel. For me, adding lots of xtra fiber and bulk just leaves me with all that fiber and bulk waiting its turn to turn into little balls and slowly leave. I'm going to work from the holistic side and try some different probiotics and herbal healing remedies. As you can see by reading the med articles here and experiences by the users, medical people are just starting to address and acknowledge this. There aren't any answers yet or fixes.

I have/had the same challenges. My GI said drink miralax until you get everything to move. I went through two 14 dose bottles before the marbles released and turned into mud pies. Now I am supposed to use one capful of miralx a night to keep things moving.
Miralax has no texture or taste and can be mixed with anything. Just don't casually try to pass gas, you might be surprised 💩
