Hi Marylin, have you tried anal irrigation at home? It is what paraplegic ppl and others with very serious nerve spinal nerve damage have used on them. The kit I bought was made by Coloplast and is designed to empty the descending colon.

I'm sure it would have worked well for me if I did not have a tortuous colon and a big gnarly obstruction at the splenic flexure that allows only liquid poo through it. After decades of so many misdiagnosis of bowel problems, I've only recently learned about the true terrible state if my colon by doing a Bowel Transit Study. Currently awaiting more imaging before having major surgery.
Meantime I'm taking Molaxole, which is the least irritating laxative and most effective laxative I've used to date.
Do check out anal irrigation - it may work well for you. Coloplast are a big company and have very supportive staff.
