lillybits Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 i had the barium x ray at mayo but didnt show too much. i drink 4-6 caps of myralax to keep things liquid to move. if i dont then nothing happens other than belly bloat and constipation. Now i am up to 6 caps of myralax and 2 dulcolax tabs to get movement.I eat a high fiber diet and excersize the best i can and still nothing....Colonoscopy showed just mild inflamation and gerd. prep was awful lots of vomiting and needed a couple additional anemas to run claer. what do i do now? My primary said that its all part of the neuropathy in all this. does it ever go away? can it be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peregrine Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I thought I'd read somewhere that a low fiber diet was best for those with motility issues? But I'm not an expert on this. Good luck - sounds definitely unfun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybits Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 my husband says mabe i built up a tolerance with the myralax and thats why things are getting worse????? I didnt think that was possible seeing as though it just retains water in the stool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiemxoxo Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think gastroparesis and motility issues can vary. I know I could not eat anything solid for 3 months and wondered if it would ever go away but eventually it did and I can eat normally now. I also contracted c.diff at the time so this might have changed my intestinal flora. The doctor told me 6-8 months to recover from gastroparesis but for me it did not take that long. They also did not know why it happened. I know some people get worse though. Eliminating gluten from my diet helped for a while though. I would recommend seeing what foods bother your stomach more than others and refraining from those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybits Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 i will try eliminating gluten. i will watch my fiber intake more. I know i have quite a few food intollerances and allergies which i stay far far awayfrom! thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
