Help pretty disturbing and no one seems alarmed but me... No pun!

I suffer from lupus, thalassemia, two different hyper coagulation issues (both genetic), hoshimoto's, rheynaud syndrome, chronic --  and I do mean chronic constipation! It is not abnormal for me to go 13-17 days apart. I stay distended and live with my heating pad on my tummy! I've had 8 colonoscopies in the past two years. Found three polyps all at different times, were removed. All cytology comes back negative for any pathological abnormality. I take Linzess once a day (fairly new med). Still no improvement. I've had to remove impactions (thank God I went to nursing school), and no one seems concerned. I most recently passed a very large amount of well formed stool: however the stool was obviously dry, cracked, discolored and old. In all my life I've never seen anything look like this. It was almost completely covered in dark brown hair almost 1/3" long. From the beginning to the end! The stool was 17 days old. I can't get answers! That's not normal!! Help?!?!? Pic won't load, but I promise it was almost fully covered in dark brown fur, hair, fuzz: whatever you wanna call it!

Ty for your response. I have not been tested for celiac. My condition is the same. I live with pain, distinction, feeling ill and a heating pad on my tummy 24/7 for discomfort. I'm really getting sick of it. All four gastros I've seen in the past two years do the same test say the same thing and well.......isn't that in itself the definition of insanity. I'm at wits end!!! Again, Ty!!!

With all these autoimmune diseases, have you been checked for Celiac disease?  If you have it and stop gluten, it may help your other issues.  Get the blood test before stopping gluten.

Have you tried taking magnesium citrate every morning?  Have you tried Amitiza?  I have not tried Linzess yet, but Amitiza is pretty good for me.  

You could try taking walnut hull and wormwood preparation for parasites to see if that helps you.
