Feedback on Linzess for Irritable Bowel-C or Chronic Constipation

@mark1952 I too have had IBS-C for most of my life (I am 73). I also have redundant colon (never diagnosed until my 60s during a routine colonoscopy). I took Linzess 290 mg for about 3 yrs plus other OTC stimulants…psyllium etc. I never really experienced any great help with Linzess…except mentally I felt like I was at least doing something medically about it. I finally stopped it a couple of months ago and I’m actually feeling a lot better these days with 1 cap of MiraLAX daily along with one scoop of Sunfiber. I mix both in one cup of coffee and enjoy! I sometimes add Senna if I need to feel more movement coming along. Feels good not spending a lot of $$ on an RX that was not proving helpful. Hope my info is of help.

@anniewee
Annie,
Input like yours is invaluable to me! Thank you for your generosity in sharing.
BTW, I am 74 and was recently diagnosed with a redundant sigmoid that my gastroenterologist described as the longest and most twisted ("torturous") he has ever seen. I am sure that plays a part in my condition. But with IBS-C I think a sigmoid resection might be impossible for me to deal with. Still debating. Thanks again.
