I'm having extreme pain in tummy,can't go to the bathroom

I had surgery 2 1/2 years ago and everything was fine the first year then all of a sudden I started getting massive bloating and gas whenever I ate,it started about a year ago.The pain gets so severe and uncomfortable that I just stay home. I assumed it would go away without going to doc. I go poop about every 8 days or so.either difficult to go or it is diahrea Iv'e changed my diet,drink a gallon of water a day,tried MOM,a whole bottle at a time. 7 laxatives at once and still nothing. I went to the doc finally and had a cat done. There was no blockage but I was extremely backed up...suprise! He told me to take alot of laxatives for about a week and then go on MOM 4 oz every day. I do not think I am able to be cleaned out this way considering how long Iv'e been this way.Please help. It has taken control of my life. I'm afraid to go anywhere,or spend the night out because I always end up in pain.
