I have issues with my bowl too.
Slow transit time... Have to take a water enema every other day to empty... I'm often in huge pain and if I don't take my enemas... I just get filled up. I had a complete rupture of my sfinkter muscle delivering my first child.... so that doesn't help.
The thing is I've had problems with constipation all my life... as a 1-year-old my parents had to take me to the ER to let them get the stuff out of me.
The pain is one major thing, but so is also the swelling.... BALLOON! The enemas are good in that way that I'm able to empty... but they hurt a lot too. I hate taking them! So sometimes I'm foolish enough to skip taking them.... NOT GOOD! What comes in must come out! So pain, swelling... cramps.... not able to walk... screaming on the toilet...
Having trouble with this part of the body is really S H I T! It STINKS! LOL
I feel for all of you, who have to deal with your naughty bowl!
It's been suggested for me to get a appendico stoma... Does anyone know about that procedure??? If so, please tell me!
Wish you all, days when your bowl is behaving well!
