Hi Jessica-
No, I dont mind you askign at all. I think my body's inability to respond to laxatives is odd. Does anyone else have this problem? For my colonoscopy (had to have two, as the first did not work as I was not "cleaned out" enough) where I drank teh Go-Litely (4 L) and followed up with four laxatives, I WENT JUST TWICE!!! I was bouncing around the room, waiting for something to happen. My barium enema, however, showed that my colon was healthy. I just completed a colonic transit study and awaiting those results to see whether my colon is slow in moving materials out of my body (causing all this back-up).
I was originally diagnosed with IBS-C based on colonoscopy, CAT-scan, Barium Enema but now, further testing including Defogram revealed that my pelvic floor is descending and I have a retrocele (which could be causing C maybe, but not bloat and all these other IBS-type symptoms). So I have one more test in teh next few weeks to determine what is going on. It is called a anorectal manometry, basically to look at how my rectum moves waste out. I personally think ti si very odd that my colon doesn't respond to laxatives at all-despite never having a history of laxative abuse and being, too, that I am SO young (only 24!).
But, dont worry abotu the BE. I am not a "brave soul" by any means, and it was not that bad at all. fEel free to email if you have any questions! I am happy to help and good luck!
Kristen
