Aww. Been there, still there now. Just had my colonoscopy. I found that ant-acids have been helping the gas. They somehow make their way to my colon. As far as pooping I finally got bad enough that I couldn't go because the poop was larger than the opening that seem to close off and not let anything out.
I learned that the more I tried to go the tighter my muscles in my colon would get. I could not go from eating foods and the gas would bloat and come back up my small intestine and burp up. PAINFUL. Feels like throwing up all the time.
The stuff at the bottom sounds like hemorrhoids. They come in all shapes and sized. They bleed. They happen from pushing.
I took Amitiza and lots of laxatives, still could not go. But oddly I mixed them all together and they started working. I don't take Amitiza now just a mix of laxatives and Fiber.
I was also mixing in Metamucil Powder but started to get too much bloating so I just cut that one out. Also cut back on Citrucel.
I take now all mixed together. I had to step it up to 3 times a day now.
2 rounded tsp Miralax Powder
4 rounded tsp Benefiber Powder
2 rounded tsp Citricel Powder
I was so surprised to see that this combination is working. I keep changing the mixtures but mixing them together is totally different then taking them one at a time.
Before I was doing
2 rounded tsp Metamucil Powder
2 rounded tsp Miralax Powder
2 rounded tsp Benefiber Powder
2 rounded tsp Citricel Powder
Careful with Citricel as before I used 4 tbsp but it started to constipate me. Actually you don't need the Citricel at all. I use it to bind the poo together to clean me out better. It doesn't seem to make anything softer but it picks up the loose stuff to carry it out. If you want just mush try only
2 rounded tsp Metamucil Powder
2 rounded tsp Miralax Powder
2 rounded tsp Benefiber Powder
no Citrucel.
I hope one of these 3 mixtures helps you. Each one does something differently and helps another.
You can read my post if you want to about how each one affects me.

I hope maybe some of this could help you too. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I went from that to going 3 times a day practically over night once I started mixing them together. Take with enough water so it is not thick when you drink.
The problem I ran into was Miralax and Amitiza put enough water in my stool but it still didn't slide out. Still was stuck. The fiber backfired and caused more constipation. But mixing the stuff that held water with the fiber did it. I also had to learn to let it happen and not push. But it's really coming out now!!!!!!! over 10 years of struggling for hours a day and not boom!!!! I am going 3 times a day now. Well it's only been good for 4 days so far about but thats how long I've been doing these mixed drinks. I hope they keep doing this forever. Time for another mixed drink. Send me a message as PM on here if this helps. You would need to stay on the drinks every day to stay regular but increase around the time of the month you expect it to get worst. :)
