So I went to a GI doctor today and they diagnosed me with IBS-C. My doctor told me to take 8-10 FL oz of magnesium citrate today and then start Linzess tomorrow. I am also now on low fodmap diet.
Should I be considered that I haven’t had a bowel movement even from taking this high intensity laxative?
As well, has anyone had relief with Linzess?
I start taking it tomorrow morning.
As well I am going to get hydrotherapy as a last resort 😔
My bloating makes me look 9 months pregnant and I am so depressed I can’t even leave my bed some days. I am honestly freaking out and don’t know what to do anymore. I really hate where I go to college like I said in my last post, but have to finish out the semester.
Please if anyone has any advice or experience I would really appreciate it.

I'm on Linzess and was taking it in the morning then would have several bowel movements within 2hours usually 6 and 7 on the Bristol scale. Still constipated in the evening so irrigate my colon. This week I started taking tablet in the evening but nothing happens until I irrigate. I don't get bloating with it. Hope this helps.
