Constipation: What helps?

Oh, I forgot to add that I also take a probiotic. Doesn’t seem to matter. I hadn’t actually considered that what I have now is as good as it gets…..hmmm…..man, that’s a hard pill to swallow. I think I’m capable of my normal BM, since I had 3 of them a couple of months ago. They happened right after I first took Lubiprostone. Sadly then it did nothing. So, I’m hoping Linzess will help.

I guess I need to make a list and try everything I haven’t tried yet.

What I find striking is that my constipation happened suddenly. All was well and bam! Nothing. Out of no where. So bizarre.

Yes, Celia16, that is super bizarre. I have heard that gluten-free products and dairy-free products, with all that gum of various sorts in them, can be constipating. Also, I know melatonin can be too. Coming on out of "nowhere" makes me think it is a medicine, supplement, or food item. Lack of sleep or stress also doesn't help.

Good luck! You will find what works for you 🙂
