Horrendous trapped gas and constipation?

Hi, after suffering two years from incomplete emptying, trapped gas, and constipation finally got a mild adenomysosis diagnosis. This comes after normal ultrasound, and 2 normal ct scans and a normal endoscopy. In some ways im relieved to know what it is finally but when I met with the endo specialist she couldnt give me any answers. She kept saying I still need a colonscopy and it may or may not be related. I seem to go through the worst gi flares 1 week to 2 weeks before my periods starts so bad to where I need laxatives like miralax or magnesium. I have a decent diet, tried lowfod with no success and try to eat at least 20 grams of fiber a day. Ive tried few hormone therapies suggested and they were horrible and send me in awful flares. Nowafter feeling so miserable for so long I wanna do a hysterectomy but am terrified it wont help and what if the doctor is right and it is not related. Anyone have a similar story or any thoughts? Should I try orlissa before deciding about the hysterectomy? Im done with having kids at 36 but don't wanna undergo a major surgery if its not gonna help. The weird part for me is that my periods are not really painful and sometimes they are heavy but not always, so it is mainly the gi issues causing me hell.
