Slow transit constipation and surgery

Hi @januaryjane,
I hear you and know your pain. I have been suffering with constipation for almost 20 years. I also had my gallbladder removed in 1999 and had a Nissen in 2000 which I had reversed in Feb. 2019. I have had many tests and taken many meds to reveal the root cause and get my bowels moving; but none of this has worked. I saw my GI doctor yesterday and he has upped my Linzess to the highest amount of mgs. I will continue to pray and hope that this will give me some relief so that I don't have to get up early every morning to set aside an hour to have a bowel movement. This is frustrating and discouraging, but do not lose hope, God is faithful. I will pray for you and also for myself. Blessings

Thank you so much. Right now im not responding lengthy, not feeling the best, but wanted to say thanks and i appreciate your kindness.

Did your constipation start after the gall bladder surgery (that sounds about 20 years ago)?
