After struggling with severe constipation I have stopped taking trulicity. I have tried many OTC medications,have lost no weight,and feel like a failure. I have great numbers but at what cost ,to risk an obstruction? My G.I. Doctor told me I have an extra long colon,as I am at high risk for colon cancer.
Very disappointed. Nancy50
I feel your pain after suffering decades from all of the long-term and short-term nasty side effects of a redundant colon. Mine is finally under control, but it took many years to understand and resolve. I will not get into the weeds here on that issue, as we are all built differently, and what I did may not work for you.
I am not recommending, but if you have not looked at https://www.virtahealth.com/
you should at least take a peek. Everything I know about them is anecdotal, but my research implies they have had a lot of success, especially in situations similar to yours.
I wish you all the best in finding a solution. The solution is out there, so please don’t give up. You are not a failure; you are not stupid; you are just still uneducated about what you need to do to properly fix your issue.
