Colon Inflammation

I am a 27y male, having colon problems for the last 3 months, first it was obstruction while clearing my bowels visiting the local doctor I was diagnosed with antibiotics, resulted in temporary relief, however symptoms triggered back on, I have a strained feeling at my lower back, thick tape like stool (Not Cylindrical as in normal case). Blood tests proved me not to be anemic, no blood found i stool test. I still don't have clear bowel movements and the lower back strain prevails. Please help, I am yet to understand the cause of all these.

Neil,  blockages just don't happen, something causes them.  The ribbon like stool tells me you may still have some blockage.  I suggest you see a GI doctor.
