I have long-term severe constipation. Testing shows mixed results between dyssynergic defecation (pelvic floor/outlet obstruction) and colonic inertia. Initial plan was for me to try a temporary loop ileostomy before possible TC with IRA to see how I do without a colon.

Since it’s unclear which of my competing issues is having the biggest impact, I’m trying to decide would it be worth trying colostomy first? (assuming I’m given the choice) Has anyone had both, perhaps as a stepwise approach?
