Oh yay, @bassplayer1218! I am so glad to hear you are noticing some relief by taking a starter dose of lubiprostone. Patience to give it time is difficult from the perspective of living with symptoms 24X7X365.

At one point in my health journey a doctor told me I was starting a marathon. I was thinking something like the Boston Marathon that lasted several hours, and I was familiar hearing runners talk about training for 6 months in preparation. Well, this was in 2021-22ish….nothing prepared me for comprehending the necessary needed endurance.

Lubiprostone alone hasn’t worked for me. Do you think this medication will take care of your problems or are there other things you’re doing (or will be doing) to maybe create some synergy?
