Hi Augie, Beacon, and SCgirl!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support. Honestly, I hate to sound so hopeless and "blah" because everyone is suffering, and with chronic conditions you do have to accept/learn to manage the symptoms! But, it is honestly (as you know) horrible to deal with this on top of recovering from an eating disorder and, truthfully, it has caused me to take many backward steps in my recovery. As you mentioned, I don't really have any "trigger" foods-it seems once my belly gets aggravated from whatever-it-may-be, ANYTHING in my mouth including water/teas are problematic. Yes, I am going to try biofeedback for the pelvic floor troubles, the retrocele, and also my rectal muscles which are basically flacid (and blocking stool from leaving my tooshie!!!). However, it's frustrating bec there is one PT in the area that does biofeedback and she is booked until August!!!!!!! I Just got back from ER, as the swelling/pressure was so great, I culdnt even keep food/liquids down. They toook a another scan and found the impaction of stool again, so they prescribed miralax and also the Mag Citrate to clean out (hello, I just did the Mag Citrate beg of last week for my anorectal manometry!). Does this continually happen to others where it just builds up repeatedly?!
Well, thank you so much again for all your support! It is so much appreciated!!!! I hope that you are all doing ok!!!
Thanks, Kristen
