Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Heather--Low Motility NOT IBS-C??

I just read your post about low motility possibly not being IBS-C?? I just had my colonoscopy on Monday, and it was inconclusive--no polyps or injuries of any sort. I also was tested for thyroid dysfunction, again I was fine. I also was tested for celiac sprue, and again I am okay. My problems have been all due to a sluggish bowel, almost like it "goes to sleep" and I can't go, or it is VERY incomplete evacuation. I have terrible bloating and gas a lot, and when I have the constipation it is painful and terrible. My bloat and gas is only helped when I go. I feel fat a LOT...and sometimes I can't button my pants because of the bloat. I had the colonoscopy, and although I can poop, I have had bad bloating and some gas ever since then, ESPECIALLY now that I am eating normally and not "fasting", as it were.

Please help me. What if I have the wrong diagnosis and I've been treating myself the wrong way?? I hate my body so much because of this intestinal distress, and I hate the way it looks most of the time, and I especially hate the way I feel all the time.

I am currently on Zelnorm (though I am stopping it because it no longer is effective for me), Miralax, acacia fiber, and Jarro-dophilus probiotic supplement.
