@emoecurly - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted to let you know I've moved your post here to this existing discussion so that you could meet others talking about IBS-C:

- Treating IBS-C https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/treating-ibs-c/

Glad to see you got some input from @bb03. Hoping others in this discussion such as @mark1952 @phxbarb @researchmaven and others also will chime in with what has helped them with IBS-C.

Do you see a gastroenterologist you trust, emoecurly? What does he or she suggest you do at this point for treatment?

@lisalucier ive seen a few. I live in an isolated area and although we do have several G.I. doctors here, my primary care recommends I avoid them. However, I did go see one and had a procedure and I never met the doctor. He sent in his assistant to do the preop and postop in the only time you see the doctor is a 15 seconds before they put you to sleep.they’re not available to answer questions. I did have a G.I. surgeon here who are really liked, but they moved recently. Is there any new meds that you have heard of that might help my situation. Are there any home remedies? Thanks for the thought and I’m trying to gather my strength, but I am so down right now.
