The only thing they came up with was Melenosis which is a discoloration of the lining as a result of laxative abuse. First off, I don't take laxative. Secondly my scope was a week ago and I still havent been able to go. If I took so much laxative to discolor my colon I wouldn't be going so long without going!

grrr.... I am feeling bloated but nothing is happening. I think the bentyl is slowing things down TOO much although I take it with fibre and probiotic.

I gotta get things moving. any advice?

Lower the dose of the bentyl. Ask you doctor for either a lower dose pill or if it's okay, if it is a tablet to cut it in half. Also if you were taking it for D and you are on the diet you maybe healing and now be medicating something you no longer have. That would constipate you.

She made me choose which was worse... the D or the constipation. For me, they were equal so I think that is part of the problem. I am going to stop taking the bentyl all together and see if that helps.

along with the other suggestions :) Thanks guys.

I use Movicol/Miralax. It is what my Dr recommended after a near impaction after a barium swallow. I never want to be that near an impaction ever again!! Constipation is my symptom of a glutening so now have a remedy of starting the Movicol as soon as there is a problem. It takes a few days to work. 2 sachets a day ( for several days) is my glutening remedy to clear a minor blocked/ static bowel. For the near impaction it was 8 sachets a day ( yes 8 ) but only do that with a Dr's advise! I normally do not use it - and just have fibre and fruit normally. And no gluten of course.

Gorgie, I have been taking miralax every day. It didn't work ove3r a 3 day period so I stopped.

I have been impacted and it's torture. I was pregnant and had severe hyperemesis. I went probably a week without food and little water (kept nothing down what so ever 24/7) when they set me up with home health care. I had a Pic-U with a 3 gallon bag of water and reglan. I gained 6lbs in one week (needed at that time) but of course the pipes were plugged. I wanted to die it hurt so bad. Had to watch what I took due to PG. I feel you sister. I feel you.

Today I said.. Screw this! I am buying a saline laxative. Tonight I am bloated and hurting and gurgling then that tale tell cramping... It's not Constipation, it's D! What the heck? how can I have that if I havent gone in a week? I am so tired of my body right now. I can't (won't) take a bentyl because I need it to move through.

I'm just tired of this. I'm about to just stop taking everything. I'm tired of medications and bowel issues and people eating stuff*I* want to eat. Ok maybe that is not true. I am being a baby. I appologize.. Can't a girl just have a normal poo once in a while I mean really, is that so much to ask!?

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
