Thank you for the kind suggestion Shelley. I'll try that! And yeah, I've avoided Metamucil because of the bloating. Miralax is enough to take with water.

I have tried Linzess with no change. I take Motegrity now which is supposed to help with motility. I don't get things moving until I take some Dulcolax. I don't like to have to do that. It is a little more gentle than mag citrate, but not much. With CIC, it's kind or all or nothing.

Thanks again Shelley! Joe

heyjoe415,
I have the Motegrity too. I have only used it 2x, month apart, the headaches stopped me dead. I have chronic complex migraines that respond to only home injections and Valium.
Do you get the headaches? If yes, how do you treat them? What time of day, food/no food, anything else you can recommend for me to tamp down the headaches, so I could use the Motegrity. Thanx, ShelleyW
