Reply to "Constipation with J-Pouch"

I also struggle with constipation. My doctor has ruled out inflammation and strictures. After an anorectal manometry test I was diagnosed with IBS which can cause diarrhea, constipation or both (I go back and forth between the two). Occasionally I have severe abdominal pain which is probably from partial obstructions related to adhesions from surgeries. I am taking amitriptyline and MiraLAX for the IBS and constipation. I think taking these helps a bit but they haven't completely solved the problem. I will probably have to wait until we are out of this pandemic to see my doctor and find out what the plan is going forward.
