Considering just going ahead with colostomy. I've been dealing with my condition since April, and after multiple tests, doctors finally said my bowels were paralyzed. I've gone through multiple procedures and medications. I have now lost a total of 20 lbs. I went to the family doctor 2 weeks ago and found I had lost 6 lbs in a month. My friends and family are putting a lot of that blame on me for not eating the way I should. I try to explain how I feel, but they just don't understand the battle I'm going through with my body. I am taking Linzess but only take it every 3-4 days because when I take it, everything I consume goes straight through me. But if I don't take it, I don't have a movement until I do take it. I'm tired of having to depend on a pill for my body to function and tired of not being able to leave the house when I take it in fear of having an accident. Please help and give me any insight you may have. Thanks!
