[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359949, member: 1233"] I am so very sorry. This is SO painful. being that backed up hurts then when it pulls away from the walls of the bowel it hurts more and leaves the wall tender and irritated. It is an awful pain too. I am not sure I would bank on the report from the xray. When Jess was backed up at Christmas time two years ago it took4 people and 5 days to figure out that the area that was stool was actually something. I cannot remember what the area looked like but it was clearly (to me) different from the other areas of the xray. Same xray, but the different docs just didn't "clue in" although that is exactly what they were looking for. When was the last time he was scoped down there? It may be time for that to see if there are any problems they can fix to help with this and to make sure he doesn't have diverticulitis. Have you tried the milk and molasses enema? It wasn't fun but it worked better than two bottles of miralax and a gallon of golightly and 4 fleet enemas in two days (plus a whole bottle of benefiber and high fiber foods!). Are any of his medications related to narcotics? There is a fairly new shot out that works on certain receptors in the gut. It keeps them from binding to opiates and it makes you poop. The results show up in 15-30 mins after the shot and WOW are the results dramatic. I am wondering if maybe the natural stuff we create (endorphins etc...) to help with pain are interfering. The shot is called relistor and I can vouch for how it works and how dramatic it is. After one pain medication change I didn't go for 3 weeks. NOTHING worked, not even going off the medication for 3 days. The doctor warned me not to go to the mall and try it - he had one frantic call from the women's restroom at the mall after a lady had done the shot there rather than waiting the 2 hours it took her to drive home. Nothing he could do but tell her to ride it out and have someone give her more toilet paper. It was the first patient he rx'd it for, so he warned the rest of us about it! If you want more info on it, I can pull it out from the shots I haven't used. If he wants something different for his sandwiches than bread, there are some flat bread wraps called Flat Out! that have a LOT of fiber in them. You can check them out at [url]www.flatoutbread.com[/url] . The original wraps don't have that much fiber (3g in the Italian Herb) but the light italian herb has 9 grams of fiber! Those are the only flavor I have tried and the light is WAY better tasting than the original. Even my dad thought so and he HATES light/healthy stuff! Just thought it might give him a little variety. If you click on products there will be a list down the side. Click on the item you are interested in and it will give you the nutrition info and ingredients.
