Great summary. Thanks!
Yeah none of this works for me. I’ve had constipation since I was born. Only thing that works is linzess, an enema, or waiting 2 weeks.

Have you had a rectal biopsy? Sorry you’ve had to deal with this
Question: is it possible for squatting (like with a squaty potty) to actually have the opposite effect of helping you go? Like, can that position pinch together and narrow already inflamed or constipated bowel making it even harder to pass?

No I don’t think it would. However you may have pelvic floor problems that are more extensive than can be solved by simply using a squatty potty

@@MarkCooperMD would a colonoscopy pick that up? I had mine done and outside of a polyp nothing was found. Even biopsies showed nothing, but I haven't had a solid poop since 2017. I find that I have a harder time using the bathroom on a squatty potty for whatever reason

A colonoscopy is not actually very useful for these issues. Anorectal manometry is more so, which I believe is discussed in a couple other videos.

@@MarkCooperMD ok, thank you. I have a follow up with my less hot doctor in a few weeks and if he doesn't mention that I will bring it up. So far I'm a medical mystery to GI doctors somehow and it's getting old lol I really would like this nightmare to end at some point
