Thanks and a couple more questions

Thanks to you both for your input!

I am curious about the physical therapy...more like skeptical really.

I guess it is because I have always believed my gut dysfunction is something that operates without my voluntary input or control. It's like any other system in our bodies (i.e. nervous system, cardiovascular, etc) where we don't have the ability to regulate its activity. In essence, I can't control my pooper muscles any more than I can control whether my heart beats.

So, with that in mind, how is it possible to "retrain" my muscles if what they are doing is involuntary to begin with? It's just baffling and seems impossible to me. Again, being totally skeptical here I know. I just find it so hard to believe it's possible to do so.
