Happy New Year to @aegis1952 and all my other Mayo Clinic Connect friends! Thank you for your generosity with your time and your desire to help others.

I suffer from IBS-C, chronic gastritis, redundant sigmoid, pelvic floor issues, hiatal hernia, etc.

Anyway just wanted to share that I did a few things recently that seem to be helping significantly: 2 mg Motegrity once daily, 3 Senna (8.6) twice daily, 2 Colace twice a day, Visbiome probiotic one tablet twice a day, lower fiber diet, plus drinking a half cup of Kefir twice daily, and three teaspoons of Greek, plain, unsweetened yogurt with blueberries. Only been on Motegrity about a month. After a rocky start, it seems to be working. Stomach and bowels are much better. Hope it lasts! Best Wishes!

Hi Mark: If I took 6 Senna and 4 Colace every day, I might be able to cure my constipation for good ! But that seems extremely harsh on the digestive system. Of course since I am 83, maybe I shouldn't worry about that. I haven't the slightest care about living 20 more years or even 10 more. Right now I just started a new med, Amitiza, which I doubled and still does nothing. Maybe I will invest in Senna and Colace and try your way. I have the same problems as you.
