I dont know if this will help others but I thought I would share this with you. I have been suffering with constipation, bloating pain for a number of years. Miralax helped for about 4 years and then stopped. I tried Linzess (didnt work), Motegrity9I thought I was poisoned pain, Diarreah, bloating gas. Then I tried lactulose. It cleared me out but every three days and the other evening, i was so bloated and gassy, I couldnt be around people.My vacations vcentered around when I would take the lactulose and when I had 4 hours of non stop Diarreah and gas.
A friend of mine who claims she has been constipated since birth told me that she takes two magnesium tablets a night, drinks coffee in teh morning and she is done for the day.
I finally started taking Moralax in the morning like I ued to and two 400 mg Super magnesium tablets by GNC at night before bed. Im afraid to jinx it, but I feel cured. I have one loose bowel movement after drinking tea or coffee in the morning and then I am done for the day.
I wish I had done this at the beginning of the summer, would have saved myself a lot of pain and misery.

You do understand thats what Linzess is used for right? Linzess works by adding water to the Colon to help get things moving, it even says it on the bottle main side effects are bloating, and diarrhea. me personally i rather deal with running back and forth to the toilet than being in so much pain i have cold chills, weak, feel like throwing up from being so constipated that want to just die, ad this is almost a everyday thing, so i wake up fearing today going to be a bad day or be woke up from the pain being so bad and have to stumble to the bathroom and pass out in the tub trying to take a hot bath to try to calm my Colon muscles. So yes Linzess will make you flow like a river but in my personal opinion i rather flow like a river than to continue being in so much pain from IBS-C.
You should try glycerin suppositories. When I’m desperate they atleast help get some small movement going. And if your really desperate, drink a bunch of papaya juice. It has a laxative effect.
