Slow gi motility with severe constipation

My GI doctor has me taking motegrity and linzess and miralax as needed. It is better but would not call it normal. He recommended taking the miralax before bed on days I haven't had a bowel movement then again in the morning. Most of the time it worked. I also noticed that the linzess is very sensitive and you need to wait the 30 mins before eating. I have been dealing with constipation issues for 15 years and have tried it all.

Thanks for the response. I have noticed that when I increase Miralax and take Linzess, instead of being productive, my belly actually starts swelling until my pants (loose when I put them on) almost burst open. It's like growing a lower belly bowling ball in an hour or two. I am slim with a normally flat abdomen. Then I need to take the magnesium citrate bottled liquid used as a colonoscopy prep. Anyone else have this experience?
