No diagnosis but have had difficult 5 years of GI issues

Hi, it's amazing that I have had the exact same situation going on since Thanksgiving Day 2018. Been diagnosed with IBSC. All kinds of tests, scans, colonoscopy, endoscopy... You name it. My issues are slow digestion, constipation, pain, and bloating. Been on 290 much. Linzess; doesn't work, Amitiza; doesn't work, so I alternate my laxatives. M.O.M. one day, Magnesium Citrate, Dulcolax tablets and suppositories. But it takes twice as long to work ( up to 16 hours), and I take double or triple the recommended dose. It's affecting my life and mental well-being.

Know how you feel, it is ruining my life. Was dx with diverticulitis or the other I don't remember. I eat well and stopped drinking alcohol. I do smoke though. Gastro doctors are horrible, pay for pay for that.
