BM question.... Sorry and help!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I've got one of those questions you hate to ask, but only you guys would know

the answer to. I'll be 2 years out from surgery next month. Right from the

beginning I had horrible problems with constipation; to the point that I had a

trans vag ultra sound and my colon was so " swollen " that the ultra sound probe

hit it and caused me a great deal of pain. Well, it seem now for about the past

month, I've got the reverse problem. It seems I have to go constant and there is

no formation of stool. I've also been having a very hard time with Fibromyalgia

and Chronic Fatigue. I was diagnosed with IBS before surgery and I'm wondering

if anyone else has experience this before (I believe it's the fibro and CFS

making the IBS act up). My biggest question is.... what can I do about it? And

I'm so sorry to be gross, but the odor could knock you out!! It fills up my poor

small house. I have candles burning all the time. Help!

Has your stool been checked for nasty bugs.?

This wouldn't be something that they would be testing for in routine

labwork. And, you would know if they did, because you would have had to

provide them with -- how can this be put delicately -- a SAMPLE (and I don't

mean of

blood!). Yep, they have " tiptoe through the tulips " in order to find out if

you have something nasty living in there.

If they don't have any other ideas about what might be causing the

change in your stool, then you should consider having this checked out. A bit

embarrassing (bring it in in a brown paper bag -- in a container, of course!),

but an easy test to do.
