I'm just shooting from the hip from my own testing with gastro and bowel issues. They probably tested for these things but maybe not.
1. Elius
2. Diverticulitis
3. Twisted colon
4. Ulcerative colitis
5. Polyps
6. Celiacs ( although my celiacs doesn't cause any constipation). I hope you can find some answers. God bless.

no except for celiac.

I am beyond frustrated! I started Amitiza 4 days ago and have had diarrhea, foul gas, excruciating abdominal pain and the worst nausea I have ever experienced. I have only been able to tolerate dry toast. If I try to eat anything else I feel like I am going to die. I stopped taking the mirilax and motegrity last night. I do not go out of the house unless it's a doctor appointment.

I tried calling my U of M GI's office and the nurse barely let me speak. She asks me her questions and says she has to wait to hear from the doctor which in the past has been up to 21 days! I told her this was urgent, and how much pain I am in. Her solution was for me to go to the ER.

I have been to the ER 5 times this year with no help, and they always send me home to follow up with my PCP. It appears that no one can help me. I am not taking the Amitiza and I feel certain that I will not have any more BMs. I have had 8 colonics this month to treat my fecal impaction and my body is spent. No one takes me seriously and I feel like I am an annoyance.

Any ideas on how to approach this and try to get the necessary tests for something other than SIBO or chronic constipation?
