How do you deal with constipation?

Research the Vibrant capsule. It is a battery powered initiated capsule that promotes peristalsis, the wavelike movements in your intestines. It’s expensive go figure and out of pocket, but it’s medicine free. Look it up. I have been severely constipated over 30 years. My colon barely moves. I do take MiraLAX, magnesium at night with gummy fiber chews and take Linzess every am still but the Vibrant capsule which I take 5 out of 7 evenings helps me to get past the narrowed passages in my colon and I have more of a normal regular BM. It Virates inside the intestines ad it travels promoting peristalsis. It has helped me about 50-60 present and that is significant! I’m praying Medicare gets it approved one day. I’m 66 and retired and I have 3, 3 tier drugs which Medicare doesn’t pay for. I finally got my Tirosint Solution approved with the help of an excellent thyroid Dr but the Medicare prescription is more expensive than the out of pocket cost for it. I also have to meet a high yearly deductible. I would have to poverty level to get it cheaper. The people who worked and saved for retirement, like NOT getting their hair and nails and plastic surgery but payed off their house car are still strapped because of out of pocket medical cost of meds. It’s 169 a month and for some it’s higher, but as long as I can manage to pay that I’ll continue. Only major thing is you can’t have an MRI because the capsule is met at with a battery in it. It’s the size of a big hard vitamin. You put it into n electric powered pad in to turn on the capsule.
