Pity poo party...and ? about thin stools

So, I started my day having a pity party for myself because of ongoing migraines. Lucky me, I am also really constipated, and my GI doc did x-rays the other day and called to say that I am full of crap.

Adding a little (bad) humor and grossness to my pity party.....
i have been able to get a little sleep. I feel like crap because I can't. That children's book "everybody poops" should really change it's title to "almost everybody poops".

I suffer from severe constipation (due to nerve damage) and bowel incontinence. So anyway, things have built up again in the intestines, and in the past 16 hours I've taken my usual linzess (IBS med), misoprostol, 2 doses of dulcolax, 3 doses miralax, and a bottle of magnesium citrate. Yum!

Now I'm just playing the waiting game. I am beyond bloated, nauseous, not really in pain though, more just uncomfortable. Luckily, I have a small apartment, so no matter where I am at home, I am near the bathroom! The combination of multiple laxatives and bowel incontinence is NOT pretty!

This is obviously not a great way to treat my problem. Just got a new GI doc last week, and he's amazing. We're just trying to survive until I can get more testing done to figure out what parts work and what doesn't. Then the idea is to have surgery, probably remove some parts, and finish the deal with an ostomy. All in time.

Thanks to everyone for listening to me and putting up with my venting and questions and stuff. I feel very lucky to have found this forum....a great source of support and information!

One question though...had a colonoscopy about 3 weeks ago, doc said it was normal. For months, the only time I have bms is when I take large quantities of laxatives. Most of the time that results in diarrhea, and at times, these really soft and long and narrow stools (like as big around as my finger.) Sorry, that was probably TMI. But finally, my question, why would I have the thin/narrow stools? I am confused. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for being kind enough to listen to me!!

has your doc ran all the
gluten test checks???
crohns test checks???
ibd panel???
IBD expanded panel???

there are two docs a GI and rectal doc.... if your having skinny poos maybe see rectal doc aswell.. both of these guys are different alot of times a GI will work on Hemorrhoids and fissures etc.. Many times they miss them aswell ... as was my case.. I saw a rectal doc and with in 30 sec s the guy told me I had a fistula when I had just been cleared from the GI and Colon test--- said I was good and found nothing..

many dont realize the rectal doc is the expert at the end and only deals with so many inches in. your GI has no skills for this area yet they always jump in and try to do it all...... and many of us are tossed under the bus when they dont see anything(GI) yet we have something which a rectal doctor could see ...and diagnose better.. usually the GI misses the rectal area ....and months go by causing infections as you have a fissure or fistula....I have even had hemorrhoids in the past.. where the GI said he would take care of it... during the colon test... did nothing , said it was good clean -- and then a rectal doc shaking his head
