Hi @mariannedomino - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sounds like it's been challenging trying to get the constipation part of your IBS under control.

I've moved your post here so that you could talk with others who have taken tenapanor (Isbrela) and other medications for IBS-C and hopefully get some helpful suggestions:

I'm hopeful members here such as @phxbarb @zephyr2309 @kjcaron and others will have some ideas for you.

If these medications have not been working well for you, how are you feeling?

@mariannedomino Hi...I took Linzess for 3 yrs...never a big help but I kept taking it. I stopped a couple of months ago. With Miralax and/ or Metamucil it has to be taken consistently for at least 2 wks before it really starts working. I find Metamucil very bloating and not convenient to use. I've been taking one cap of Miralax and one scoop of Sunfiber...I mix them both in a mug of coffee with a tasty creamer...very good and it works for me. Maybe give those a try and save your $$$ on expensive prescriptions. Hope this info will help you.
