Sounds like you’ve been through quite a work up of your constipation. I assume no blockage was found on the CT scan. What suggestions have you gotten from your gastroenterologist? Increase fluid intake? Increase exercise? Are you taking any medication that could worsen constipation?

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
