the same thing too. I mean, the stool won't move causing constipation. Constipation is suppose to be helped by SFS....and the symptom of STC is constipation...so what's a person with STC to do? Not that I know I have it because stupid doctor won't order one darn test for me!

Hi Beth,
My understanding, at least from my doctor, was that the slow transit can obviously cause and that could be one plausible explanation for a person's chronic constipation. However, chronic constipation can be due to a number of other problems even in a person with a healthy, normal-functioning colon. In my case, I have fine motility according to the sizemark capsules but my functional/structural troubles are causing my constipation.
Some people who suffer from redundant colon also might show symptoms of chronic constipation. The redundant colon, just a larger size colon than normal, tends to trap more stool than the average individual.

The sizemark test is so easy to do, so you should ask your doc to order it. AT least then you would be closer to learning why exactly you suffer from chronic constipation.

Hope this helps!
