Thanks Ragtop,
It has been over 3 months with ongoing constipation and the GP wants me to go see a gastro ASAP. I was hoping it would resolve if it was just psychosomatic but it's ongoin with loss of urge. I have been googling possible causes including gastroparesis for a few days and I cannot find anything as isolated constipation being a main symptom. Usually there's a cluster of symptoms. Due to having longstanding PN (11) yrs, I am quite concerned. Thanks for advice.
