Hi, I have chronic constipation and have for approximately 2 years. I have had colonics and a colonoscopy but the constipation keeps reoccurring. For the past three months no only do I have irregular bowel movements that are pencil thin the upper part of my stomach is extremely distended. I recently had a CT scan for the upper and lower and the doctor told me I was full of bowel. When I asked him if perhaps I have some type of obstruction to cause the backup problem he answered with that I should get another colonic and do not take any laxatives and eat roughage. I am 60 years old and eat fairly well, no fast foods, etc. Three months ago I had a small hernia under my belly button fixed and since then from my belly button upward my stomach stays blown up in the front and on the sides. I work out two hours a day and am gaining wait and can not fasten any of my pants or skirts. Sorry about the long story, do you have any suggestions?
