spastic colon, blockage in colon, specialists treatment shortterm
My daughter 20 eats healthy, lots of fresh fruit and veg. Minimum meat more white than red meat. No bread as it tens to have bloated feeling afterwards. Drinks in excess of 3litres of water per day. No gas sodas. Been to specialist in the field whose treatment gave temperorary relief. He could even feel how the colon had blockage in. Drs dont believe she eats and drinks healthy it doesnt corresponds withhaving colon problems. Sometimes days without stools. Refuses to take any over the counter meds as she is desperately afraid of becomming addicted. Granny on father's side has to wear colostomy bag and she is scared that that is where she is heading for. Will colon irrigation do any good? Please this is a serious problem for us as the toxins from the bowel goes through body and she feels listless and is very pale especially after 5.
Bobby, I suppose the gastroenterologist did all the tests and everything came up fine. If you can let me know what the tests are that he did, I might be able to suggest different ones. Have you tried a medicine called Zelnorm®? It is indicated for people with IBS where constipation is a prominent symptom.
