Unbelievable. There is a 290 mcg of the Linzess, do you think that would help? I wonder if taking something for your gut spasms such as Bentyl (Prescription) would help you? I was in a bad way with spasms after COVID and the Levsin (Prescription) for spasms caused blurred vision, but, the Bentyl doesn't and worked beautifully. I was checked for SIBO, an endoscopy was done, esophagus was dilated, found out I have a hiatal hernia....you know the drill on trying everything. I do not have POTS and this is just a thought, ok?
Sometimes later on due to COVID we may not respond to our meds & supplements like we did before. I wonder if your meds for POTS need tweaking and they are slowing down your gut now due to COVID. I know that sounds crazy....but, COVID does crazy things. Miralax never worked well for me...you definitely have to play with the dosage.
IBS-C and spasms is hard to treat. I'm so sorry you are battling this. It sounds like you are doing all of the right things, I mentioned Magnesium 200 mg, have you tried that with your breakfast? I can't take that at night when I take my Linzess or I have the other problem. I had to try many different things until I found the right thing.
Are you able to get any form of exercise at all? Walking outside even? This can help moves things along in the gut.
Are you on a good probiotic? I had to go on one after COVID. MegaSporebiotic is a good one but strong. You have to start slow. Due to my gut senstivity, my doctor switched me to ION Gut support. Gut issues are exhausting. I empathize. I am so hopeful and prayerful for you to get great improvement soon. God Bless You!
Thank you for the suggestions and the blessings (back at you!). What type of Magnesium do you take ?
