Taking Linzess for Dysergenic Defecation. Has anyone done the two week bowel evacuation program at the Mayo? Any information would be appreciated. I hope this is something I can be a candidate for or I am afraid I will end up on a bag system..,
Other people out there?

I can’t sleep every night due to pain and discomfort .

Any stories to share??

My story , I’ve had 60 years of constipation, I’m 73 now and finally I think 🤔 I’m on top of it…
One daily sachet of cosmocol, that simply draws water into my long and torturous colon, so you can have 2 or 3 daily if required?
Plus a spoonful of inulin on cereals or whatever , which is simply chicory root fibre …Magic.
It’s like Xmas every day !!! I didn’t know what normal poops were really like till now.
Probably will cease up once every now and then which I can deal with suppository..
Also I have changed to a gluten free diet which I believe helps .
When you consider how long gluten stays in your colon !,,, glueing everything together ?
60 hours in a normal colon , probably twice as long in my longer colon 🤷‍♀️
It’s a win win ..
Hope this helps someone 😘
Best
Sheila
