Thank you to everyone in this thread for sharing about constipation with IBD & Crohn's. I have severe constipation with a ton of other symptoms such as severe dry eyes, GERD, gastritis, esophugitis, colonic dysmotility (verified by Sitzmarker test), doc said possibly some delayed gastric emptying, dry skin, yada, yada, yada. I have pain in my abdomen not only where the large colon is but where the small intestine is as well. My new GI doc said he would do a colonoscopy but not with biopsy and not right now? HUH? He said we just have to find the right combination of Rx for the constipation. So I am now on 290mcg of Linzess, 3 tabs of Senekot three times a day plus if still no BM then take 2 pills of Bisacodyl USP 5mg every other day and if that doesn't do the trick, I was told to drink one glass of Golytely.:ymad:
Any help woul be appreciated. Thanks.
Blessings,
