Thank you, but this past 14 months including tests you mentioned I’ve been through a ton more in Boston. Was scheduled for total colectomy this past September 29th but got to scared. I have severe chronic colon motility. It doesn’t move ever. I’ve tried every med OTC and prescription. It doesn’t work. I don’t go without laxatives which make me severely sick. I’m just looking for new ones that don’t cause severe pain. They say by shortening my plumbing I’ll never be this way away. Sounds wonderful but I rescheduled till January.I want to keep trying something new as often as I can. What do they give you for your problem.thanks, Joanne

I pray that you will make the right decision for you. I know it is tough facing such critical questions.
Want to ask if you had tried Lactulose for your constipation? It is a Rx med that is given as a treatment for long standing liver disease. And I have seen it mentioned here, briefly as being prescribed for constipation.
Prayers for you. Let us know how things progress.

So sorry. Its getting more and more difficult. Dr. has me on Ducolax, stool softener, and Linzess. Linzess gives me diarrhea ( maybe that would help). The ducolax does make stool softer, but does not nothing for movement. i end up using milk of magnesia caplets or magnesium calm (2 huge tablespoons, usually works) and when worse comes to worse, a suppository, which works, sometimes take some awhile.
