I didn’t realize Ducolax was for long term use. All of my doctors said to not use laxatives like it for my chronic constipation, They all recommended Miralax for long term use. I do use Miralax several times a week now with no problem. Sometimes, my constipation dissipates. I also add a couple of salads and daily fresh fruit.

The IBS Clear is actually psyllium husks fiber, which is the same as Metamucil. I used that for about a year, but found I did just as well without it and using Miralax only, but everyone is different. I already have a good diet and take supplements, so I don’t think I need the added ingredients in IBS Clear, though the probiotics might be helpful.

I think different things work for different people. I keep hoping my situation resolves one day. For me it came out of no where. Tests offer no explanation. Colonoscopy normal.

Did you have to take Linzess a week to see any improvement? I had improvement immediately, then nothing for a week, so I stopped taking it. I was afraid I would get a big surprise incident and stopped using it. Perhaps, I should give it another try.
