Hi,

It is probably not toxic megacolon according to the history it could be irritable bowel syndrome u can start on lubpristone for 12 weeks, linaclotide for 2 weeks, rifaximin for 10 days, psyllium for 4 weeks. Take high fiber diet and avoid gluten diet. This would probably improve your condition.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajatha S. S., General & Family Physician
