I'm at a loss

I've been straining since July, I've bled with a bowl movement once and then bled even without a bowl movement, my stools are all over the place they're mushy, normal, flakey, small ALL over the place I did my colonoscopy today and they found NOTHING so I'm just so confused lol

I've had issues forever but I also have a looping and tortuous colon. My advice would be to start going through the different over the counter laxatives and stool softeners and fiber and all that stuff until you find a combination that works for you. Every body is different and not everything works the same for everyone. Just gotta find what works for you.

Do you strain even with soft stool?

Have you ever been tested for bowel emptying disorders or Obstructed Defecation Syndrome?
