I am 21 years old and have had medical issues in the past couple of years,mainly concerning my digestive tract.I cannot go to the bathroom without laxatives.I have tried water,higher liquid intake,muesli with honey,oatmeal,raw vegetables,soups,probiotics,prebiotics and about 30 grams of fiber powder a day,flaxseed oil supplements,castor oil,rose jam,you name it but it all fails to work as i have been laxative-dependant for about a year.I take senna supplements and senna tea along with stronger laxatives and i gradually came to increase the dosage and i know it could lead to some long term damage to my internal organs.I used to never struggle with constipation but a year ago my doctor said that my gallbladder is not producing enough bile and that’s the root of my problem.I also want to mention that about year and 7 months ago i had gall stones and had them removed.I was also diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis last summer when i was overseas and had done a lot of medical exams but i had no gall stones present.They also ran a blood picture and told me i have increased white cell count,high liver enzymes(given i do not consume alcohol),and was told i had an enlarged liver and spleen,it was seen on a CAT scan(i do not drink or take drugs and haven’t in the past and i have stopped taking acetaminophen on a daily basis since it can damage the liver),i was also told i have IBS when they performed endoscopy(over the summer last year) but i just recently(about two weeks ago) actually ended up in the emergency room and they told me they were concerned i might have a colon cancer and i need a colonoscopy done and i was debating should i do it since i saw a gastroenterologist overseas 8 months ago and was told i did not have stomach cancer because i don’t think it’s possible to develop a cancer condition in such a short period of time and i figured i would turn to someone competent in this field such as yourself.I also have unexplained anemia(i do have iron deficiency but was told my anemia is not due to it) and hemophilia runs in my family so i was wondering would it be possible for me to have hemolytic anemia,i also have kidney stones but my kidneys are functioning correctly,i am just mentioning all my conditiones and medical history because of intense connection between internal organs,i have also been told i have some pancreas and menstrual irregularities(i usually get my period about once a year or so,sometimes it’s once every two years but since i started taking contraceptives it’s been more regular,but i also told i have amenorrhea),i also was diagnosed with hiatal hernia,scoliosis and migraines.I also have anxiety that’s taken a control of my life,rosacea and chronic rash and hives.Each time they give me steroids but this makes me nervous and paranoid because it releases cortisol and since i have had anxiety for years my body has already released too much cortisol on a daily basis and i figured it would contribute to me feeling fatigue.I also have a peptic ulcer and i think that about sums it up.I have learned to deal with the majority of my symptoms and discomfort but what i am really interested in is how could i regulate my digestive tract again and prevent my body from further discomfort and complications.I also have had blood in my stools occasionaly but not every day for the past couple of months and actually was recently told that about 80 percent of our immune system is actually located in the gut so i figured that’s what i should focus on.I apologize for mentioning all those additional conditions and disorders,i just figured that all internal organs are connected.Thank you in advance for your attention and time.
