If you look on the other forum (the "ask the doctor" one) you will see a question back in August from a patient called mifegr together with answers/comments etc.
I recall that this lady has been advised to undergo a total colectomy for what appear, on the surface, to be similar similar problems to those that you face.
Hence I suggest that you might like to ask your G.I. specialist if your condition and discomfort could be cured by a total colectomy (or another term is "ileorectal anastomosis".
This is a major operation - I underwent it for torrential rectal bleeding - but it may help in the long run. Do please search out and read the input that I have referred to abopve.
Best regards and good luck
