Constipation or fluid retention?

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

Hi, I've been battling these debilitating symptoms for a year now. I used to eat and immediately have to go to the bathroom. My metabolism was quick. Now it seems no matter what, bowel movements are always irregular and never complete. I've had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. All they found was gastritis, but the symptoms still continue. My calves fill up with fluid and my feet swell. Then I have to take a strong laxative and then everything is ok but I'm malnourished. Trying miralax now
