I don’t like to give unsolicited medical advice, but if you haven’t, it could be worth looking into a fibre supplement like Metamucil. I just take the capsules so I don’t have to worry about having the drink and for me it’s a night and day difference compared to when I don’t get it. That said, I’ve never been as severe as you by the sounds.

Giving fibre supplements to a potential IBD patient is probably not a good idea.
yea, that’s the first thing everyone tells me. It’s catastrophic sometimes if I overdo fiber, sometimes it helps. I’m convinced it’s some type of IBD but as I mentioned in original post, to confirm it requires basically a positive result on a colonoscopy I have yet to produce. Since the treatment options are poor I no longer see the point.
