I have tried everything for the last 6 yrs of my life, now am 24. Magensium, intense fiber therapy, zelnorm, miralax, anti-spasmodics, etc, etc, and nothing has given much relief and the only time things work well are when I live my life like a robot and have strict eating and living procedures, otherwise I am backed up and bloated. Want to know the process people went through to get to the point where they had the colon removed, and also results that have happened because of this. Also, if such people on this board have direct contact with Dr.s or the medical community(i.e. Flux or anyone else) I would like to know what GIs think of this procedure. Thank You
