So to start I am a spinal patient, have nerve damage relating to a spinal surgery I had almost 10 years ago. It's expected that my digestive system will run slower than normal. Unrelated about a year ago I had an abdominal hernia repaired, I though perhaps my symptoms were related to that, at the time before the repair I had all standard bloodwork done and a CT scan which noted nothing unusual aside from the hernia.
For a few years now I've been on this horrible bowel cycle and it's not always on this pattern 100%, it occasionally jump around but more or less:
At the end of a pervious cycle I will have several days (1-3) with little to no bowel activity but what activity there is, if any, is more or less normal.
Then I have a day or 2 (1-2) where the bowels are almost normal, perhaps a but on the dryer side, but I will have 1 or 2 fairly large movements.
Then I may have 1 a day or 2 (1-2) where the bowels are of a thin yet thick and sticky consistency, a past like consistency. Sticky and nasty.
Then a day or 2 (1-3) days of diareah. It almost feels like liters of liquid, I'll have a few movements that is almost straight liquid, then I may have a few that are liquid interspersed with chunks of feces.
It's almost like my system is completely flushing itself out, and then because my system is slow, it takes a few days for anything to work it's way down. This seems to be fairly consistent but then sometimes I have a random day of diareah out of nowhere. Or one fairly normal solid movment in the evening, and dirah starting the next morning.
This would be difficult for most to deal with but with me, due to my neurological issues, I down always know when I have to go. I might just get an urge when I am literally ready to explode.
