Anyone familiar with serious bowel ailments (and treatments)?

Question:

Have had 2 bowel movements in 2 weeks. Both were hospital induced by enemas (a very large bag of fluid suspended high - like an I.V. - then a tube inserted several inches into the rectum/colon?, not just the regular type.)
Forced to go to hospital due to diabetes and after 2-3 days of no b.m., comes nausea then vomiting. There is much noise in the belly and according to both x-rays there was no "blockage". Gas is able to pass fine, and plenty does, both farting and burping. There is no urge to defecate even though the dr. has me on prescription laxative and stool softener and I'm following a healthy, fruit & vegetable rich, and high-fiber diet. I also drink prune juice, herbal tea, spring water (as much as I can without feeling more nauseaous).
I've tried castor oil, cascara segrada, magnesium citrate, epsom salts, prunes, metamucil, prodium, suppositories, coffee enemas at home, rhubarb, jumping jacks, sit-ups, swimming, hot baths, walking - everything but harikari, basically.Help

First thing first.

Till you find a better method, till you find normalcy, please donot give up the whatever method that is yeilding some results.This is important.It should not be allowed to deteriorate. That gives you time to seek alternatives that would best suit your chemistry.

In India many use what is called ISABGOl, a kind of harmless plant seed , smooth , flakes. It is taken at night and many seem to get good results. try it .ISABGOL.

The other is to psychologically get over this fear. Will I , Won`t I , today syndrome. You seem so worried about it and possibly feel like a social outcast!Please don`t

BOY, YOU ARE A BREAD APART, TRY FLAX SEED WATER IN STEAD OF SPRING WATER, (Boil the seeds, let it set and drink), it help me a lot.
