I’m 65. Smart pill was what finally diagnosed the slow motility of my entire gi tract but colon is the worst, 82 hrs. My previous motility doc was big fan of Motegrity but I felt awful on it. I too was super active until all this hit nearly 4 years ago now I live day to day. Can never travel or make plans. My life controlled by my colon. Had a meltdown in the gi’s office last week. I think he may finally “get it”!

Hi did go natural route, all paid out of pocket. I had acupuncture , twice a week,visceral massage twice a week, pelvic floor pt twice a week along with a natural doctor who tried ruling out allergies, food and environmental. I had a three fusion surgery, cervical June 2020 in Boston . My colon never woke up. I’ll never know if cervical spine surgery did something or anesthesia but that is when it all started. I do have some pelvic floor issues so I do go back for PT every 4 or 5 months and stay for months but when discharged my push is excellent. Right now I’m in a bad place because nothing is working, makes no sense. I’ve done nothing different. I also suffer malnutrition because my diet is just awful. It’s all good food but so little. This I’m sure is my lack of energy issue. I do sub at a high school two days a week. Not always easy but I need it. I’m going to look up your meds. All the best, Joanne
