Thank you so much for your response. I will mention Linzess to my Dr. I
have a history of anal cancer and surgery/treatment. Didn’t have any
problems prior to that (2012). All they’ll say is that I’m constipated but
I think it’s more complicated than that. Frustrating.

I’m so sorry that you had to deal with anal cancer!
It could possibly have been a factor in your current constipation problem.
It may be a good idea to get a second opinion at a major university medical center- even Mayo- where they deal with more rare illnesses and complications from cancer treatments.
I ended up at Mayo because of GI problems caused by intestinal damage from chemo that wasn’t considered by my local doctors.
There may have been damage to the intestinal nervous system.
Look into major university medical centers or at Hospitals such as Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic.
Keep digging and don’t give up!
