I was prescribed Linzess to help with motility. So far is working, two weeks. Short of a colectomy, it’s a life of laxatives, fiber, lots of water, stress management. No doctors have been helpful discussing the situation and my life revolves around the bathroom until almost lunch time.I’m 68 and in otherwise good health. This can be very life limiting and depressing if you are active like me. I may work with a colon hydro therapist to see if that can help keep things moving but you must use caution about replacing electrolytes. One day at a time. Good luck

I have had constipation all my life. Got diagnosed with tortuous/ redundant colon recently. The best thing that has worked for me besides 64+ oz. water daily , is Citracel several times a week, high bran cereal, lots of fruit, no red meat or pork, lots of veggies, exercise. Dr. prescribed Miralax , which helps short term, but causes me a lot of cramping! Plus it can make things too soft. It's different for everyone. It takes some trial and error. I will say I did not want to rely on stimulant laxatives that can be unpredictable and cramping, and can stop working after long tern use. The Citracel, along with diet, high in fiber, Chia seeds work too in a smoothie several times a week. best to you!
