Kimber, can I ask you what type of doctor you saw? Did you say a colorectal doctor? I have severe constipation. I am talking I don;t go for 2 weeks at a time. I have seen 4 gastro docs and I am currently on Miralax prescription laxative. If I do not take it I can go weeks without a bowel movement. I have heard of a week but 2 weeks is ridiculous! Any suggestion on who I should see? I have already had a colonoscopy done and 4 laps for endo. I am only a stage 1 thank god. I just had my 4th lap last week. Any suggestions on what doctor I see next? Andrea andrea@triver.com
