In February of 2011 I underwent surgery for colon resection for diverticulitis. The surgery was a success. However I developed constipation issues but I handled them with stool softeners, prune juice and Metamucil and of course lots of water.
About 2 months ago I developed sporadic sharp shooting pains in the area of the surgery. These lasted, on and off, for about a week. They were diagnosed as spasms. I was left with complete constipation.
I tried everything I could think of to get relief and I did get partial relief sometimes. About 2 1/2 weeks ago I had to resort to the ULTIMATE weapon...a 10 oz bottle of ORAL solution magnesium citrate! This was because I was close to 7 days backlog and I was STUFFED! The mag citrate worked it's wonders and I had relief...for awhile.
The cycle started again and I paid a visit to my GI doctor. Let me say here that I had many other symptoms of woe that I have not described here. I told my GI doctor my tale of sorrow and being the regular down-to-earth guy that he is, he told me that I was describing classic IBS-C. He said in so many words, that medical science doesn't have any magic bullets. He said, quite honestly, that sufferers of this are pretty much on their own and if we find something that works then DO IT!
I decided to start on a NEW BLANK PAGE: First I went to see a colonic hydrotherapist. I wanted my colon to be TOTALLY cleaned out before I started my plan. It cost me $100 out-of-pocket but it WAS worth it! I would not have been surprised to see some turkey and stuffing float by from last Thanksgiving.
I immediately started taking 3 caps of Miralax at bedtime and a Oxy Powder capsule upon waking, at Noon and 6 PM.
The result? I am having a BM upon waking and the evening and sometimes afternoons. At present they have the consistency of mud but so what? At least they are BMs and the stuff is COMING OUT!
I will continue to "fine tune" dosages and perhaps add Metamuncil to help with bulking.
My point to all this is that I think my first step in using colonic hydrotherapy to get to a "blank page" played a key role.
