Gail, sorry to hear about your daughters problems, hopefully she will find some relief soon! Have you gotten the results from the colonoscopy? I have never heard of an anal-rectum function problem, Did the doctor explain this??
Metamucil does cause bloating, I found, if you take alot of it or too much too quick. Suppositories are better than laxatives. If constipation is her problem, do a search on the boards for "constipation", you will find lots of suggestions, and I found out by trial and error which works best for me, as everyone seems to be different. Perhaps she can get some relief through her diet (eg. drinking more water, eating soluble fibre foods like rice, pasta, before other foods and keeping the fat content low). Check out the Recipe message board. Other than that, if she hasn't been diagnosed, you don't know what is really wrong and what will work for her.
Hopefully she gets the results soon. She will find support here, otherwise, which may help with her depression as there are many others out there with similar "bowel" problems. She is NOT alone! 
Hope this helps a little
