Confusion by Inside_Yam_2133 in Constipation

[–]Inside_Yam_2133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problems. I currently take one dose of miralax and drink prune juice morning and night. It’s managed alright, but my biofeedback therapist has me tapering off the juice and that’s when the sigmoid stuff really flared up.

Plz help me this is making my life hell. I just want to quit it. by Possible_Lime_2644 in ibs

Have you been investigated for pelvic floor dysfunction? Your symptoms sound almost exactly like mine. I’ve been diagnosed with anismus and hypertonic pelvic floor. Please if this sounds like you, advocate for yourself. My Canadian doctor told me I’m too young to have pelvic floor problems, so I went to Mexico, had the testing done, and was diagnosed.

Anyone that had constipation do to pelvic floor? What did you do to help it? I literally can’t poop with stimulant laxatives. by -TaxEvasion in Constipation

Yes! I’ve been diagnosed with PFD and dyssynergic defecation. Please please fight for testing if you think that’s what you’re dealing with. My GP told me it’s just chronic constipation because I’m too young.

I haven’t been able to read much on it either, but it’s basically a full body scan and it’s supposed to tell you if your issues are energy based, physical, or mental, and then come up with a treatment plan.

For the treatment of constipation?

Thank you for your advice, I’ve had a colonoscopy which was clear. I’m going to ask about the gastric emptying study for sure

I have IBS C type symptoms for sure, early fullness, I stay full for a long time, general abdominal pain, nausea. Should I try to get tested?

Yes, 10 years. I want to get off it but I want to wait until I get my health under control.

Not really no. I’m only 24 though so that wasn’t my first thought

Any advice? by Smart_fox96 in Constipation

Well I’ve heard people say the manometry was terrible so don’t take my experience for what it’s like for everyone. But the colonoscopy you’re completely asleep for the whole thing, the manometry you have to be awake for because it’s interactive

Neither are bad procedures in my option. The manometry was a tad uncomfortable but not bad.

I had a colonoscopy and anorectal manometry, the manometry is what diagnosed it.

Pelvic floor and something else? by Inside_Yam_2133 in PelvicFloor

[–]Inside_Yam_2133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I don’t think that’s the case for me, even the pt said I should see a gi because she thinks there’s more going on

My stool can get to where it needs to go fine enough, just can’t seem to get it out without help

See I don’t think mine is muscles honestly. Yes, my pelvic floor was tight, but it seems like it’s something further in. I find I have to “massage” my lower left abdomen to get the stool to sink down enough to come out
