My 4 months constipation my gi says its ibs 🥺

Hello guys im still looking for answer about my ibs constipation i keep asking my gi 🥺 to dig in so maybe he can find the cause of this coz im not satisfied at all i want to be healed should i push it ? Its all start when i eat to an asian restaurant acoz i my feeling is this.

1.Constipation
2.No abdomen pain
3.There is mucus before but when polyp remove its was gone i think
4.When they give me rx meds i can push anymore by my own
5. My poop always stuck on rectum or inside rectum area

Ive done Several test

Bloodwork all kinds
Xray 3 times
Cat scan contrast
Colonoscopy (removes 2 polyps inflammation 3mm and 5mm doctor said its normal ).
Found small diverticulum

I feel lost i dont want to settle down to just ibs i need suggestions to you guys which i need to do?

  1. Ask the restaurant for no MSG or soysauce or fish sauce. They can substitute with Tamari. Thai food is safest for me. I am gluten/diary intolerant.

  2. If you're experiencing persistent constipation and unsatisfactory results with your current GI specialist, it's essential to be proactive in finding a solution. Discuss dietary adjustments and medication options with your specialist to address your specific symptoms. Additionally, consider implementing stress management techniques and regular exercise, which can often help with digestive issues. If you continue to feel unsatisfied with your progress or diagnosis, seeking a second opinion from another specialist may be a valuable step in your journey to find effective treatment and relief.

    1. thankyou! Probably i need to go different provider for these one

    2. I completely agree with this! Advocating for ourselves is so important, and it can take a while to find a good doctor who listens and is willing to help: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/good-doctor-please.

  3. Still the same finding answers what causes me this cause my old provider even i switch doctors still the same on the same hospitals. Im deciding to switch after my anorectal manometry i need someone that is positive on me that wants to help me dig in to my condition even just a 1% of chance

    1. I really hope that you'll find a provider who works better for you. Please keep us updated and don't hesitate to reach out with anything. Wishing you the best of luck, Karina (team member)
