Hello all,
I'm getting a colostomy on May 1st for rectal dysnergia (my sphincter muscle is too tight), rectocele, and enterocele. I'm worried because I don't believe my large intestine is working properly. I did have a sitz marker test, which showed 4 markers left on the 5th day, which they consider normal. I don't understand how that is normal. I'm also on Motegrity, Linzess, senna tea, and dulcolax every 2 days, and this all still feels like I'm not getting rid of everything. I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and how it worked out for you. I want an ileostomy, but my surgeon is really pushing for the colostomy. I also have gastroparesis on top of it all.
