My GI told me in my last visit that I suffer from dysmotility as I became constipated and can't even pass gases out and feel my rectum is closed. He prescribed Debridat (mebeverine). I kept taking the medicine 3 times for 6 days until I had the first bm (I used to have 7+ or even more bms/day). After I had the first bm w the aid of glycerin suppositories and applying gtn cream, I had severe abdominal pain. Then, d followed. I thought that the medicine did its job esp.that pain kept increasing.
My GI recommend seeing a new colorectal surgeon to reevaluate my proctitis.
Does anybody suffer from dysmotility?

Hi Minnie,
I thought I had a slow transit colon because I used to suffer from constipation a lot, but since my re-section surgery it is not longer a problem. I'm not having D too often, but every other day or so I have "poop-a-thins" where I start going and can't stop for hours. So now I'm thinking that the stricture in my ileum is what was causing the constipation prior to surgery and not really dysmotility. I think seeing the surgeon is a good idea for you. Your struggles may be anatomical and not functional in nature.

To add to what gumby said, my increasing constipation coincided with the appearance of a stricture. At one point it was bad enough that I was taking Miralax every day for a while. It was liquid when it came out; it just had a lot of problems coming out.

Mebeverine is an antispasmodic. It's usually prescribed for people with IBS. I tried it once and it didn't do anything for me. It won't treat inflammation either.

Never had significant proctitis, so am not sure what to say about that. Hopefully the new colorectal surgeon will be helpful.

Gumby and NCOT, thank you very much.
@ Gumby. Yes, you described exactly how I feel when I have a bm after several days of constipation. I keep rushing to the toilet for several hours afterwards and the abdominal pain I usually get after a bm keeps increasing.
@ NCOT. My GI prescribed lactulose syrup similar to Miralax to keep things going but I haven't taken it yet. I was traveling the last couple of days and was afraid d might hit anytime during the trip. I hate this feeling of having to have a bm but not finding a nearby toilet. That's real torture. Will now try this laxative until I see the surgeon.
Take care :)
