the issue with me is that I've used most laxatives and fibre supplements, nothing seems to work its just getting worse and worse. I've had a colonoscopy, and gastroscopy but nothing came out of it.

You are not immune to the chemical or biological effects of laxatives and fiber. As a test of your diet, please name 5 vegetables with high fiber content.

If you are legitimately doing all that you can, you should be eating a high fiber diet. So this test should be easy. I'm trying to help you, because I know someone who had the same issue. It's mostly diet.

Lentils(all types), beans, avocado, and broccoli. I eat a combination of theses a day with a bit of protein on the side(fish, chicken and red meat).

Makes sense. If I had that issue, I'd try going vegetarian for a meal or two. Like eat a ton of high fiber legumes instead of meat. Oatmeal for breakfast (add chocolate), something with chickpeas for lunch, some meat etc. for dinner.
