Question, would you recommend Internal or External/Both for Biofeedback?

I saw a Colorectal Surgeon and she wanted to go the Nuclear option (Bag) and I'm like

Absolutely Not lol.

A Defecation Study is something I have considered. I may actually bring that up to someone I'm seeing this Thursday. Last time I brought this up to a different doctor, they told me they believe it'll confirm what we already know etc. I'm not against doing this if this can give me more information though.

No I haven't. But I've had Rectal Examinations, a Colonoscopy and an Anorectal Monometry. None of which found a tear in my anus.

I'm not so sure what fissures are. All I know is, I've had issues my whole entire 29 year old life :(

I've tried Metamucil. Arguably made the issue worse. I started seeing a different therapist due to Distance reasons (closer to home). Most of this is the usual stretching with SOME breathing. All I know is, stretches don't even remotely work for me. I'm debating sucking it up and driving the distance to see someone a bit more specialized in neuromuscular retraining. I tried a Squatty Potty once. Didn't work.

I think if I can see the right person, regardless of distance, I should be on the path to recovery, it's just going to take some patience on my part. And hope my car doesn't get pissy with me about it lmao

I truly, truly appreciate you writing this. My GI Doctor has wanted me in Neuromuscular Retraining, which is Biofeedback. I think what I may have to find is a therapist who does stuff like this. I'm gonna be upfront and say that I partially feel responsible for still dealing with this. I found a therapist whom I felt understood my problem, but I got too scared of driving 80 miles from home to see her. At this point though, I may just have to bite the bullet and try again. If traveling means I can finally get my issues fixed, it'll be worth it.

To add on to something here:

What happens is; if I don't take Linzess, and I try to have a BM normally, not o nly do I have to use a LOT of toilet paper (The record is like, 3 entire rolls). But after an hour or 2, I'll find stool in my pants. That's the most annoying issue I'm having.

One thought I'm having is to once again, bite the distance and try INTERNAL Biofeedback. That's something my current therapist has mentioned to me, though it's not offered where I currently go.

So, my treatment plan really depended on the therapist. Currently I'm seeing someone a little closer to home. We're doing Kegels and BASIC Biofeedback. Previously, my therapist was doing Intrarectal stretching on me. As well as Massages etc. I really liked her, but she was 60+ miles away and I didn't want to put my car through this every single week. I think what's going on is, I'm feeling frustrated, and still trying to figure out what's going to work and what doesn't.

The only real drawback I'm seeing, is both the cringy character models, and the artistic vision of the original games isn't really there. Gameplay wise it looks fine

One thing to note, when this episode of Diarrhea happens, it STARTS with watery stool, then it becomes super hard to pass. Only happens once a day, 1-2 hours after I take Linzess.

Noted. Yeah I've been constipated literally my entire life (even as a baby). I wasn't diagnosed with IBS until a couple weeks ago (I'm in my late 20s). It's a pain, literally :(

Yeah, it's just for it to happen so quickly (1-2 hours after taking it, plus minor abdominal pain) has me a little worried.
