@anniewee Thanks. I’ve been taking miralax but not consistently… if I take too close to bedtime I’m kept awake by whatever action it’s trying to make happen…! Sometimes I feel it makes me just gassy but again, I haven’t tried it every day!
Maybe once a day in morning or afternoon?
I was disappointed in my last G.I. visit, because he didn’t really suggest any testing. Have you done any? Like motiliy, etc?
For the last few days, I feel like the poop keeps ending up stuck in my rectum, and I’m bloated, uncomfortable, and it gives me weird insomnia…pain in gut, a feeling of being swollen almost? I resolve it in the morning with coffee and other things but then it just builds again! I can’t tell if it’s fast-transit constipation or what!
Just looked at my colonoscopy notes from last year and no mention of torturous colon… maybe I was wrong about that!!
Glad linzess helps you a bit…! Those meds have scared me but maybe time to check them out….
