It is quite hard to understand your message. But I think that you are describing the symptoms I used to have some years ago. I am not sure what you are treated with. Best wishes.

Hello bellejewel. I understand what you are going through. I also have scleroderma and raynauds and as a result I have had problems with my bowels for ages. I am also on quite a number of medications as well as I also have problems with my lungs. I don't have much advise to give but just to say keep hanging on. It is my faith in God that keeps me going too. It will get better. Will keep you in my prayers.

Hi! All my problems started with a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. Then it seemed like a snow ball effect. Once I got on my strict diet, then all my symptoms for everything else went haywire. Have you been check for celiac or gluten intolerance? Also, you could have problems with too much good bacteria. I would see if you can get in with a GI dr and get that checked. I suffer more from gut issues than some of my SD issues. Good luck and don't give up!

I have the same problem with bowel/vagine etc. The only answer is Keegal(spelling?) exercises which you can do lying down or even sitting. It's to strengthen the muscles running across the anus and vagina. If those exercises don't work then there is a little op; they can give you to tighten those muscles. Don't leave this as if it gets worse you'll have a bad problem of not being able to control it one day. Try the gluten free. it works well. I have Diverticulitis as well, which doesn't help. Good luck
