@electracat Hi…I take the 1 dose of MiraLAX around 11 am with my last coffee of the day…it doesn’t bother me during the day like having to have a bm . As far as being bloated and gassy…that is me no matter what I drink or eat. The Senna-S is helpful as well. ( the extra -S means it also has stool softener. Sometimes I drink a Smooth Move tea….if you decide to try the tea…don’t take the Senna-S that day (only 1 type of Senna a day).
I found out about having a tortuous colon after my second colonoscopy…..I’ve had constipation problems my whole life and never had any idea my colon was extra long and twisty.
I am with you in your experiences….it is something I have to deal with daily as well.
I have not had any motility tests done. I am trying to work out things on my own. This Connect group is good because there are not many people we can talk to about our personal body-function problems.
Linzess did zero for me at the lower doses and it’s not any cure for me now either….but I feel better mentally taking it! Oh, well.
Keep in touch any time you wish.
You are not alone in your experiences…I am here too!
