I had my first visit today with the pelvic floor therapist, on a referral from the colo-rectal surgeon. Not as bad as I imagined and came away with some information and hope. If you’ve not read any of my previous posts, I have a severely tortuous colon and slow motility. Last gi referred to a surgeon for consult for Ileostomy as meds not working and I’m so miserable. Her suggestion was to try pelvic floor therapy. So, sorry if TMI, but here, well, she determined I definitely do have a “squeeze” muscle issue. My muscles get “tired” after only 2 seconds. Something I was totally unaware of. So, reason that so much stool accumulates in my lower colon. Therapy will help to strengthen these muscles. Also recommended magnesium glycinate and a probiotic. Also a recipe for constipation, oat bran, applesauce and prune juice. I also have “homework” between weekly apts. PF exercises. All in all it was well worth the visit and she thinks she can help.
